A Response to “Literacy Is Not the Problem”

Editor's Note: Following the publication of Literacy Is Not the Problem, a response to Wale Ogunbanjo's article Before We Argue: The Need for Economic Literacy, the original author requested an opportunity to reply. The response below argues that several criticisms made in the rejoinder are directed at positions that were never expressed in the original article. The author contends that his argument was not that citizens should agree with government policy, but that productive debate benefits from a shared understanding of basic economic concepts, regardless of where one ultimately stands on a particular issue.... https://otanewsng.com/a-response-to-literacy-is-not-the-problem/

Before We Argue: The Need for Economic Literacy

Separating Fact and Opinion One striking feature of public debate in Nigeria is not that citizens disagree — disagreement is healthy. The problem is that debates often begin before agreement on basic facts and concepts. Facts describe reality. Opinions evaluate reality. Confusing the two creates endless arguments. No two Nigerians should argue over whether Abuja is the capital of Nigeria — that is a fact....

Do We Teach Too Many Subjects in Basic Education?

Kudos to the Policy Makers Nigeria's education policymakers deserve recognition for the enormous effort that has gone into developing the National Policy on Education (NPE), the Basic Education Curriculum, and related implementation frameworks over the years. Coordinating educational policy in a country as large and diverse as Nigeria is no small task. But even with a good curriculum, continuous improvement is essential....

Zoning, Elections and Nigeria’s Search for Stability

Nigeria’s recurring argument over zoning often gets trapped in sentiment and political tribalism. But beneath all the noise is a fairly practical question: how do you stop presidential elections from repeatedly deepening ethnic division and making large parts of the country feel excluded from power? The case for zoning is really an argument about stability and inclusion. The proposal is simple....
