IN SHORT

After living in the U.S. for more than twenty-seven years, Dr Olu Ehiz Ayewoh abandoned his comfortable career to focus on improving the education system in Nigeria. “If you are looking to have a lot of money, then education is not the right place to be,” he notes. “Education is truly about contributing to people’s lives. It is about creating opportunities for socio-economic liberation. It is about providing skill sets for sustainable poverty alleviation. Put simply, it is about developing human capacity with a view to improving the human condition in a predictable way.”
