AMNESTY PROGRAMME FOR NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT: A CASE FOR ADULT EDUCATION IN NIGERIA
Journal Title: Academic Research International - Year 2012, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
Adult education, a pillar that was rejected by the leaders of our great nation, Nigeia has been remembered for use in re-integration of the Niger Delter ex-militants into the Nigerian society. But, the irony is that those using adult education for this re-integration exercise do not acknowledge that it is adult education they are applying in the process. In this paper, a case is made for due recognition and usage of adult education for forestalling militant and other related activities in order to create a conducive platform for national development. Considering the relevance and appropriateness of adult education in re-integrating the ex-militants into the social, political, cultural and socio-economic life of the country, the paper concludes that adult education should be given adequate attention by our political leaders.
