The General Overseer of the Word Bible Church, Prophet Julius Babatunde Kumoluyi, has advised the Federal Government to place priority on the education sector to end the current insecurity challenges in the country.
He said the amount of money currently being expended on the school feeding programme by the Federal Government should have been used to provide free education across the country.
The cleric stated this while speaking with newsmen in his Igbara-Odo home, Ekiti South West Local Government Area of Ekiti State, ahead of the 30th anniversary of the ministry.

Kumoluyi, who maintained that the billions of naira on the programme was enough to give quality education to the children across Nigeria, added that parents would provide feeding for their children if education was made free.
“I think the insecurity we have in our country today shows the government has to be alive to its responsibilities. Government responsibility has been neglected in the area of availability of employment opportunities. The jobs are not available.
“What do you want someone who passed out from the university after 10 years and no job to do? It is a very sad situation and that is why they are looking for ways to survive. The way things are going, it might get worse until government performs its responsibility,” he said.
