Ezekwesili said such absence of learning was in charge of the misuse of lives, assets, thoughts, which toward the end slowed down solidarity, peace and improvement.
The previous VP of the World Bank put forth the expression in a keynote discourse at the National Human Rights Conference and Awards composed by the Constitutional Rights Awareness and Liberty Initiative (CRALI) in Lagos.
She said: "There is shocking fair lack of education in our nation. This absence of learning of majority rules system has prompted to a lot of dying of the general population. It has prompted to a lot of dying of assets; it has prompted to a lot of dying of thoughts, of peace, of solidarity, development and subsequently of advancement.
"As financial aspects would let you know, what we experience the ill effects of, in that absence of learning is viewed as the difficulties of data asymmetry in light of the fact that specific individuals have more information of what the constitution says than the bigger lion's share of the natives. With that issue of informations asymmetry, the power flow tilt toward those with the learning."
The previous elected priest who said 61 for each penny of Nigerians were in critical neediness charged the nationals to familiarize themselves with the substance of the constitution and utilize them as the premise to draw in the administration.
