RE-ENGINEERING EDUCATION FOR GOOD GOVERNANCW, SECURITY, CREATIVITY AND ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION IN COVID-19 ERA

It is an honour and privilege to deliver the Keynote address at the Faculty of Education National Conference, Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka. The conference theme: Re- engineering education for good governance, security, creativity and environmental protection in covid-19 era is apt and timely because it conveys the message of the moment. Governance and security in all sectors today are turbulent worldwide cutting across levels and cultures. The Nigerian scene is worrisome, but creativity and innovation are apparently the way forward from the skirmishes that include tackling of environmental issues for survival and advancement. It is a widely known saying that a smooth sea never made a good sailor. This conference is an effort in the right direction to address the prevalent problems. I appreciate the organizers, especially the Dean whom I have known for decades as an amiable personality and a scholar of excellence. The keynote is focused on implications of the conference theme for higher education and specifically the university system.
