Babalola gave this warning while delivering the 2018 annual Dorcas Oke Hope Alive Initiative (DOHAI), lecture entitled “Adequate funding for education and the challenges of the African child”, held at Previous Cornerstone University, Ibadan, the Oyo State capital.
Dignitaries present at the event included: Professor Bolanle Awe, Dr. Oluremi Atanda and DOHAI founder, Bishop Francis Wale Oke among others.
Babalola, who spoke through the Deputy Vice-Chancellor of ABUAD, Professor Smandra Olarinde, declared that the government must make it clear that there is a limit to the amount of money it can provide for education in the midst of competing areas of need, hence, governors and those aspiring to be governors in the 2019 elections should desist from deceiving the people that they will provide free education when elected.
He added that time has come when African countries must face reality of its economic and financial circumstances to made its education sector more attractive and capable of fulfilling their national aspirations.
