Very well said, Prof Afolayan, and others. In addition, I see no reason why there is a school subject bearing the title "...National Values", when the only "national" values that our schoolchildren get to see every day are the non-values of public and private greed, visionlessness of public officers, parochial nepotism, primitive personal accumulation, bare-faced corruption and absolute lack of truth, sincerity and responsible leadership in government and indeed much of private business too. Our people make a mockery of education with these subjects, and the communique by this group further pushes Nigeria' education travails into the territory of the theatre of the absurd.
