\n At the weekend, Senator Opeyemi Bamidele, who leads the Senate, urged governments at every level, corporations, and philanthropists to make more significant investments in education with the aim of nurturing future global tycoons and renowned companies.\n <\/p>\n

\n Bamidele, who represents Ekiti Central, emphasized how both established and developing countries across Asia, Europe, and North America utilized education as a powerful means for social and economic change to achieve their national goals.\n <\/p>\n

\n Following the conferment of an honorary Doctor of Laws degree upon him during the 29th convocation ceremony of Ekiti State University, which took place over the weekend on the university\u2019s main campus in Ado Ekiti, he proceeded to make those calls.\n <\/p>\n

\n Yesterday, Bamidele was honored along with the Chairman of the Federal Inland Revenue Service, Dr. Zacch Adedeji, and the Chairperson of the Governing Board at the Bank of Industry, Dr. Mansur Muhtar. This brings the total number of honorary doctorates awarded to him between January 2003 and March 2025 to three.\n <\/p>\n

\n During his speech at the convocation, Bamidele highlighted the importance of education for the socioeconomic advancement of countries globally. He believes this approach has been utilized to achieve developmental objectives and overcome severe obstacles.\n <\/p>\n

\n He explicitly stated: “By quality education, I refer to an educational experience that frees the mind; one that significantly reshapes entire generations and provides access to boundless prospects in every field.”\n <\/p>\n

\n In this light, education serves as an essential instrument that both developed and rising nations across the globe have utilized to reach their current status. We, as a society, also possess this same tool in our quest for national ambitions.\n <\/p>\n

\n Bamidele pointed out that achieving substantial socio-economic progress in every sector necessitates “not just fostering a conducive atmosphere, but also ensuring a fiercely competitive landscape so our country can remain globally competitive.”\n <\/p>\n

\n It also requires intentional public investment in our youth, and we must take action immediately. Undoubtedly, this necessitates consistent and strategic backing from various private sector entities that generate global brands and billionaires.\n <\/p>\n

\n This is the reliable blueprint that gave rise to Elon Musk, CEO of SpaceX and Tesla; Jeff Bezos, founder of Amazon Inc.; Mark Zuckerberg, co-founder of Facebook and Instagram; Larry Page, CEO of Google; Warren Buffett, the esteemed owner of Berkshire Hathaway Inc., and numerous others.\n <\/p>\n

\n It\u2019s now time for each of us to utilize the power of high-quality education to create our homegrown global billionaires and iconic brands. However, this can\u2019t be left to luck or happenstance; instead, it requires careful strategy and proactive execution of these plans.\n <\/p>\n

\n “We might fail to reach our goals unless we reassess our national priorities and genuinely invest in individuals. Fundamentally, education that frees the mind is the sole solution to achieving our aspirations. The sooner we begin investing more effectively in our citizens, the better off we will be as a union,” he stated.\n <\/p>\n

\n As such, Bamidele urged both public and private sectors to revisit their approaches; contemplate this message and pledge anew to invest more substantially in individuals. This sentiment ought to be a crucial aspect of the key lessons we derive from this momentous assembly.\n <\/p>\n

\n During his speech, University Vice-Chancellor Professor Ayodele Joseph listed several initiatives spearheaded by Bamidele for the institution, including the building of dormitories for medical students\u2014both male and female\u2014as well as a small sports complex and an FM radio station.\n <\/p>\n

\n Ayodele also highlighted several significant contributions made by university alumni over the past year via targeted connections and interventions. He provided examples of various initiatives that the senate leader helped facilitate for the benefit of the university community.\n <\/p>\n

\n He expanded Bamidele\u2019s contributions to encompass facilitating the building of separate male and female dormitories for medical students, constructing a small sports complex within the campus, and setting up an FM radio station, all of which were to be gifted by Senator Bamidele.\n <\/p>\n

\n The vice chancellor further observed that the prosperity of the institution was associated with an increase in the monthly subsidy provided to the university, which had risen from \u20a6260 million to \u20a6410 million per month.\n <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
