The Republic of Korea has called on the
federal and state governments in Nigeria to invest more in education and
the development of human capital.
According to the Asian nation, by so
doing, Nigeria stands a greater chance of fully realising its potentials
and also competing favourably with other advanced societies in the
world.
Speaking during a lecture at the
University of Lagos, Akoka, Lagos, during the week, Ambassador of Korea
to Nigeria, Noh Kyu-Duk, noted that his country was ready to give all
necessary assistance to Nigeria to support its progress.
He said, “Korea and Nigeria have collaborated for 37 years and I can say that we cherish the relationship between us.
“We have a very similar history with
Nigeria. After colonialism, we also faced our own challenges but were
able to surmount them by investing in education and developing our human
capital. Today, all aspects of our economy and national life are
thriving. I see Nigeria on that path as well and that is why education
and human capital development must be taken seriously.”
Kyu-Duk, who restated his country’s
commitment to a $15m model school project ongoing in Abuja, Nigeria’s
capital, said on completion, the facility would aid learning and
capacity building among young people in the nation.
The Ambassador also revealed that the
Korean Government had made financial pledge to support international
efforts to tackle the humanitarian crisis in the North-East.
He said, “The provision of development
assistance is one of the important foreign policies of the Korean
government. There is a humanitarian crisis in the North-East region of
Nigeria; we would like to participate in the international efforts to
alleviate the hardship of displaced persons in the area.
“We were in Oslo, Norway, last week for a
humanitarian conference on Nigeria and the Lake Chad region and we
pledged a few million dollars towards the efforts.”
The Executive Director,
Action Health Incorporated, Mrs Adenike Esiet, has advised parents and
teachers to teach children sexuality education at an appropriate age to
reduce early moral decadence. Esiet gave the advice at a media
roundtable and launch of a book on school curriculum by Nigerian Academy
of Science (NAS).
The curriculum is titled: “Family Live and HIV Education (FLHE) in
Nigeria’’.
She told journalists on the sidelines of the project which is focusing
on the Issues of Youth Social Development (YSD) and Reproductive Health
(RH).
Esiet said that everyone should know that no age was too young to
disseminate sexuality information and its outcome.
“In Nigeria of today, there are many cases of sexual abuse here and
there; teaching children sexuality education makes them know their
rights and when to find help.
“Considering what the entertainment, fashion, musical industry
disseminates these days, one must teach children or wards sexuality
education earlier than thought,’’ she told NAN.
Esiet also said that there were cases of teachers molesting students.
According to her, not only females are victims, so also male.
