I pledge to be faithful and earnest 🇳🇬: No nation can rise above the quality of its education. That is not motivation. That is economic law. The nation whose graduates can think, build, and innovate has compounding intellectual capital. The nation whose graduates hold certificates that do not reflect genuine capability has compounding intellectual debt. Nigeria is in the second category. The interest on intellectual debt is paid in brain drain, skills imports, poor governance decisions, failed infrastructure designs, and preventable institutional collapses. The debt is already compounding. The decision to stop accruing it is a curriculum, a budget, and a cultural choice. All three are makeable today.
