"Public Varsities Graduates Are Brainless, Can't Compete With My Secondary School Students." - Atiku Abubakar

Former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, has described graduates of Nigerian public universities as brainless, saying they cannot communicate in English with the students of his private secondary school, the American University of Nigeria (AUN) Academy, Guardian reports....


He said public universities graduates cannot fit into private industries due to their poor education and character. "I was in the University of Zik in Akwa in Anambra State on Wednesday on the invitation of the university. .

There is no student in public universities that can speak English in an error-free manner like the head boy of my secondary, who just finished addressing us now.

When the head boy of AUN Academy, Abdullahi Sani, started speaking, I was thinking it is one of the lecturers in AUN, but only for him to introduce himself as the head boy of AUN Academy,” he stated. .

Atiku said his ambition to establish AUN was to ensure that Nigeria produced graduates of high quality, both in learning and character, at an affordable rate and avoid the stress of traveling to other countries in search of quality education.

He pointed out that only quality education could bring about technology development in any country in the world, not oil, gold or other mineral resources.
