He noted that good working condition will attract best brains into teaching profession, which will result into improve standard of education in Nigeria
The former principal advised Government, Parents and Guardians to go back to the drawing board and fashion out ways of resuscitating qualitative education in Nigeria.
He used the occasion to call for the promotion of indigenous language in schools. He, however, warned that emphasis on foreign language by parents can lead to the extinction of Yoruba language and culture.
