In an interactive session with the alumni at AUN’s third homecoming in Yola, Atiku said fixing the education sector in Nigeria requires courage and vision.
 “Someone with the vision, courage, and insight needs to fix education in Nigeria,” he said.
“I’ve tried to push for more government funding. We need more teachers training and better infrastructure. My blueprint for education in Nigeria was given to every state.”
On the long-term financial sustainability of the institution, he said “a trust had been set up to guarantee AUN’s future. This school does not belong to Atiku.”
A 2011 AUN graduate, Okechukwu Anyanwu, said he was in a partnership to develop a leadership curriculum for use in Nigerian schools.
Meanwhile, Ugandan member of parliament and former vice president Professor Gilbert Bukenya, is expected to deliver keynote speech at the school’s founders’ day ceremony in late November.
