good evening gentlemen and ladies or ladies and gentlemen I’m here to talk
ladies and gentlemen I’m here to talk
ladies and gentlemen I’m here to talk about evolving an educational system
about evolving an educational system
about evolving an educational system that tells us basic national and
that tells us basic national and
that tells us basic national and industrial questions now one of those
industrial questions now one of those
industrial questions now one of those who believed that education should not
who believed that education should not
who believed that education should not be a fit for our purpose it should not
be a fit for our purpose it should not
be a fit for our purpose it should not be a template that must work in China
be a template that must work in China
be a template that must work in China and most work in Nigeria or work in
and most work in Nigeria or work in
and most work in Nigeria or work in Taiwan and all that nations should
Taiwan and all that nations should
Taiwan and all that nations should evolve educational systems as their
evolve educational systems as their
evolve educational systems as their challenges evolves just like when the
challenges evolves just like when the
challenges evolves just like when the British came into Nigeria they looked at
British came into Nigeria they looked at
British came into Nigeria they looked at the system what were the immediate
the system what were the immediate
the system what were the immediate challenges they needed to settle they
challenges they needed to settle they
challenges they needed to settle they needed to solve the problem of raising a
needed to solve the problem of raising a
needed to solve the problem of raising a quick manpower quick manpower for the

public sector the military’s leaders
public sector the military’s leaders they needed to raise administrators they
they needed to raise administrators they
they needed to raise administrators they also needed to make you think in a
also needed to make you think in a
also needed to make you think in a certain way so they introduced causes
certain way so they introduced causes
certain way so they introduced causes like civics and government because they
like civics and government because they
like civics and government because they tactically wanted to disintegrate and
tactically wanted to disintegrate and
tactically wanted to disintegrate and make you you know not see values or see
make you you know not see values or see
make you you know not see values or see see sense in your traditional systems so
see sense in your traditional systems so
see sense in your traditional systems so they they introduced crosses like
they they introduced crosses like
they they introduced crosses like government so that you begin to see
government so that you begin to see
government so that you begin to see their democracy they tell you about you
their democracy they tell you about you
their democracy they tell you about you know suppression and power of course but
know suppression and power of course but
know suppression and power of course but they don’t know in my community there’s
they don’t know in my community there’s
they don’t know in my community there’s actually separation of paths in Bordeaux
actually separation of paths in Bordeaux
actually separation of paths in Bordeaux but because they wanted you to think in
but because they wanted you to think in
but because they wanted you to think in a certain way they teach you history so
a certain way they teach you history so
a certain way they teach you history so you learned their own history not
you learned their own history not
you learned their own history not history of a problem not history of
history of a problem not history of
history of a problem not history of Bordeaux so education has to answer
Bordeaux so education has to answer
Bordeaux so education has to answer questions they had a strategic plan and
questions they had a strategic plan and
questions they had a strategic plan and they decided to execute it that way now
they decided to execute it that way now
they decided to execute it that way now what have we done when they left in 1960
what have we done when they left in 1960
what have we done when they left in 1960 things are changed things are evolved
things are changed things are evolved
things are changed things are evolved but we fail to evolve the systems to
but we fail to evolve the systems to
but we fail to evolve the systems to answer those burning questions you can
answer those burning questions you can
answer those burning questions you can tell me today that the problems of 1960
tell me today that the problems of 1960
tell me today that the problems of 1960 are still the same problems today no
are still the same problems today no
are still the same problems today no things have changed but our occasional
things have changed but our occasional
things have changed but our occasional systems had remained essentially rooted
systems had remained essentially rooted
systems had remained essentially rooted in their cake system when the British
in their cake system when the British
in their cake system when the British came in here now but when we move on and
came in here now but when we move on and
came in here now but when we move on and when we look at an Internet the
when we look at an Internet the

these questions of environmental
these questions of environmental pollution this question of unemployment
pollution this question of unemployment

and these questions that are bound in
and these questions that are bound in today’s society now let’s look at the
today’s society now let’s look at the
today’s society now let’s look at the origins of knowledge knowledge the body
origins of knowledge knowledge the body
origins of knowledge knowledge the body of knowledge essentially started out as
of knowledge essentially started out as
of knowledge essentially started out as philosophy and philosophy everybody was
philosophy and philosophy everybody was
philosophy and philosophy everybody was you know you knew archeology you knew
you know you knew archeology you knew
you know you knew archeology you knew everything if you are a philosopher and
everything if you are a philosopher and
everything if you are a philosopher and then with further advancements and
then with further advancements and
then with further advancements and further you know research things like
further you know research things like
further you know research things like physics broke out chemistry mathematics
physics broke out chemistry mathematics
physics broke out chemistry mathematics and the likes
and the likes

but again as specializations continue at
but again as specializations continue at things like engineering which was
things like engineering which was
things like engineering which was essentially the application of these
essentially the application of these
essentially the application of these physical sciences and then again there
physical sciences and then again there
physical sciences and then again there were further you know disaggregation and
were further you know disaggregation and
were further you know disaggregation and further separation and so engineering
further separation and so engineering
further separation and so engineering which was military engineering by the
which was military engineering by the
which was military engineering by the way now became civilian engineering
way now became civilian engineering
way now became civilian engineering which is civil engineering essentially
which is civil engineering essentially
which is civil engineering essentially and then we had electrical and the likes
and then we had electrical and the likes
and then we had electrical and the likes so the body of knowledge has been you
so the body of knowledge has been you
so the body of knowledge has been you know together
know together
know together but today we are witnessing what I call
but today we are witnessing what I call
but today we are witnessing what I call the reconvergence of knowledge through
the reconvergence of knowledge through
the reconvergence of knowledge through multidisciplinary collaborations in
multidisciplinary collaborations in
multidisciplinary collaborations in order to you you have disciplines such
order to you you have disciplines such
order to you you have disciplines such as mechatronics which is essentially
as mechatronics which is essentially
as mechatronics which is essentially diffusion of mechanical and electronics
diffusion of mechanical and electronics
diffusion of mechanical and electronics what our system remains deeply rooted in

showing the pipelines and that pipeline
showing the pipelines and that pipeline the gas pipeline is actually not too far
the gas pipeline is actually not too far
the gas pipeline is actually not too far from unipod so they could have actually
from unipod so they could have actually
from unipod so they could have actually built a turbine a gas turbine that could
built a turbine a gas turbine that could
built a turbine a gas turbine that could get gas from there at a cost effective
get gas from there at a cost effective
get gas from there at a cost effective level but they didn’t do that again
