Once again, Nigeria’s education sector has been thrown into uncertainty as another strike action emerges from the university system. This time, the University of Lagos is already feeling the impact. The question echoing across the country remains simple yet deeply troubling: what kind of leadership is Nigeria truly running?

War is not won merely through the strength of numbers or the size of an army. History has repeatedly shown that strategy, surprise and deception often determine the outcome of battles. In modern asymmetric conflicts, smaller and…
