Architect decries declining  standard of education

An architect, Ebiwene Bozimo has expressed concern over the declining standard of education in the country.
Bozimo, who made the observation through a press statement made available to Vanguard, said he has resolved to seek opportunities to address the declining standard of education in the country through political power.

He said the falling standard of education in the country is no more acceptable and as such must be addressed by good legislation, saying that he is more determined than ever to join the Senate representing the people of Delta South Senatorial District of Delta State in 2015.

Bozimo, who plans to run on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, expressed his concerns about the declining standard of education and its negative impact on many spheres of national life. He promised to make the cause of education for his people at all levels a priority at the federal legislature.

Arch. Bozimo asserts that education is the key to a fruitful and sustainable future for Delta citizens as he is a faithful believer in the age old axiom about teaching people to fish rather than giving them fish to eat. He is saddened by the low economic prospects in his domain and is angling to go to the Senate where he intends to sue for qualitative education among other initiatives.

As a professional, he also believes that infrastructure development is imperative for employment generation among a prepared populace and looks forward to creating a sustainable intellectual and physical legacy for the youths to build upon.

“Having contributed to residential, institutional and infrastructure design and development in different locations worldwide as an experienced architect, I have been actively involved in changing the landscape for the better but now, it is time to touch lives directly by seeking legislative solution to the myriad challenges facing the Nigerian education system,” he said.
