Kaduna: Apostle Kure Advises Tinubu, Calls for Reconfiguration of Nigeria’s Universities

Laments Current Poor State of the Nation and Widespread Suffering

By Achadu Gabriel, Kaduna

Apostle Dr. Emmanuel Kure, an influential Christian leader and founder of The Vision Pioneer of Throneroom (Trust) Ministry in Kafanchan, has urged the reorientation of Nigerian universities to foster a positive direction for the country.

He advised President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Federal Government to provide Nigerians with a clear, step-by-step blueprint outlining their plans for fixing the nation, rather than merely offering reassurances that conditions will improve soon.

The clergyman made these statements on Wednesday while presenting a paper titled “Reconfiguring the Nigerian University Landscape: A Critical Exploration of Pioneer Solutions for Sustainable Educational Reforms” at a one-day inaugural public lecture organized by Kaduna State University (KASU) at its main campus.

Apostle Kure emphasized that Nigerian universities should engage in research and develop specific local solutions that address the needs of their immediate host communities. This approach would help expose students to the importance of making a positive impact in the communities where they live, even after graduation.

He challenged the management of Kaduna State University to clearly define its philosophy and objectives, urging them to instill these principles in students to ensure the university’s long-term viability.

While lamenting the country’s current poor state and the suffering of its citizens, Apostle Kure, who also serves as the co-chairman of the Kaduna Family of the State Peace Commission, stated that the government must actively work to correct the selfish and faulty foundation upon which the nation was built.

“The Federal Government under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu needs to provide Nigerians with a clear plan for how they intend to fix the country, rather than continuously reassuring them that things will improve,” Kure asserted.

He pointed out that the nation is at a standstill, requiring a comprehensive reorientation for both leaders and citizens.

He lamented that the foundation of the nation was flawed from the start, rooted in selfish and regional interests. He urged the need for a nationalistic orientation through Nigeria’s university system to foster unity and emphasize the importance of every region.

“The government needs to step back and hear the cries of the people,” he added, stressing that the current situation is dire and the government’s response has not been sufficient to restore peace.

“Nobody seems to be addressing the problems and the cries of the people, only providing reassurances that things will improve. Nigerians want to know how things will actually get better.”

He called on students in tertiary institutions to change their attitudes toward learning, discover their potential, and leave a positive legacy for future generations.

Earlier, the Vice Chancellor of KASU, represented by Deputy Vice-Chancellor Prof. Bashir Ali, noted that the topic was carefully chosen to address the current challenges facing education in the country.

He urged participants to listen attentively and apply what they learned for the betterment of education in Nigeria.

The university management presented a plaque to Apostle Emmanuel Kure in recognition of his significant contributions and support for knowledge in Kaduna State and across Nigeria.
