1.0 INTRODUCTION
Formal education in Nigeria has been as old as the coming of the colonial masters. Its existence is not mysterious.
They came in which the intention of extending their support administration, religion and culture to west African countries and also with the pretext for engaging in commercial activities with the inhabitants of those countries.
When they came to the shores of those countries e.g Nigeria, they were unfortunately unable to communicate with the people in their language.
They decide to teach the people the way of their life, their language. So some agreed with them and it makes those that agreed to be wiser than those that rejected the idea.
Since the formal introduction of education, it has been identified by some beneficiaries that education is a librating force, librating people from the crunches of illiteracy, superstition, inferiority complex and other barbaric actions.
But inspite of all these advantages bequeathed to us by education, it has been infested and confronted with so many problems which among them include poverty.
