94. EDUCATION AS A WEALTH CREATION TOOL IN
EKITI
 Our plan is to provide functional and sustainable
Education
 We believe that Education will not just be for learning
but for enlightenment and enterprise
 Entrepreneurship will be incorporated to our
curriculum from Secondary Schools to Tertiary
Institutions.
 Encourage our researchers to proactively seek for
grants and scholarships to carry out research in their
institutions
 To attract funding with laudable projects in Schools.

95. EDUCATION TOURISM EDUCATION = WEALTH
 Education increases the earning capacity of individuals
 A compelling body of research links primary and
secondary education to economic development and
growth. This research recognizes people as a type of
economic asset – “human capital” – and shows that
increased investment in health, skills, and knowledge
provides future returns to the economy through: increases
in labor productivity.
 Education increases workers’ average earnings and
productivity, and it also reduces the incidence of social
problems such as drug abuse, crime, welfare dependency,
and lack of access to medical care, all of which can weigh
heavily on the economy.

96. EDUCATION = WEALTH
 Lifelong learning has literally become the new
infrastructure of our knowledge-based economy.
 Education, as infrastructure, means that we must
be willing to see our schools, colleges and
universities as key players in economic
development—because of the talent they create,
the research they conduct, and the new
knowledge they produce.
 It is partly from research and innovation that new
companies are born, new ideas are birthed and
new jobs are created.
 Indeed, research and innovation help to drive
economic expansion and the creation of new
wealth.

97. According to Thomas L.
Freidman in his essay on:
“Pass the books, Hold the
Oil”, we intend to mine the
brains of our people even if
we have no oil to drill.
