Plateau State Governor Caleb Mutfwang has blamed educated Nigerians for some of the country’s most damaging governance failures, including grand corruption, abuse of public office, and manipulation of public institutions.
He said many of the practices undermining Nigeria’s development were perpetrated not by uneducated citizens but by individuals whose academic qualifications and professional expertise should ordinarily make them agents of national progress.
Mutfwang stated this in Abuja while delivering the convocation lecture at the 15th Convocation Ceremony of Veritas University, Abuja, titled, “Building the Nigeria We Want: The Role of the Educated Mind.”
