Abstract

Literacy is a major component of human capital formation and fundamental to any programme of
social and economic progress. While the importance of having a proper education is continually
stressed by various governments and the society, yet the level of literacy still remains low in Nigeria.
The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) in a paper
‘Education for all’ presented in Delhi on December 1993 suggests an 80?cess to basic
education in order to achieve a sustainable level of learning skills by the larger population. This
set the human development landmark of the decade in Nigeria. An optimum level of education
can only be sustained when there is a complete removal of illiteracy from among a country’s citizens.
This will require a major emphasis on character-building.
In recent times, there has been an increasing realisation of the critical importance of adult education.
Yet the determination and political will to promoting it has been hardly inadequate when
compared to the immense enormity and urgency of the task. Despite the commendable work
done by educational bodies, government and non-governmental organisations in Nigeria to bring
education closer to its citizen, there are still troubling inefficiencies and problems in planning and
implementation of policies. However, this paper seeks ways to improve on the situation and suggest
ways of attaining optimum education and development for Nigeria.
