Education not a guarantee for government job - President Buhari Tells Nigerian Youths

President Muhammadu Buhari has said that education is not a guarantee to secure government jobs. 

The President made the remark in an exclusive interview with Channels Television, Thursday where he reeled out his administration’s achievements in the last seven years. 

The President said: “I wish when they go to school; when they work hard; when they earn their degree, they don’t do it thinking that government must give them jobs.

“You get educated because an educated person is certainly better than an uneducated person even in identifying personal problems. So, education is not meant just meant to hang on to the government to give you jobs and then what the colonialists indoctrinated in us to believe – have a car, have a house; start work by 8:00 am and close by 2 pm.”
