By Itoro Uwah | Witty Global Blogs ABUJA, NIGERIA — WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 14, 2026 Nigeria's education system is confronting a challenge that extends far beyond the number of children attending school.

As the Federal Government expands digital skills training, a new report exposes a troubling disconnect between education, professional qualifications and employment opportunities in Nigeria.

However, a new policy report released on October 12, 2026, has raised fundamental questions about the country's ability to translate skills acquisition into sustainable employment, economic productivity and meaningful opportunities for its growing youth population.

WHO TOLD YOU?

Before You Accept Another Limit, Answer the Question. What if one of the biggest obstacles standing between you and your future is something you were told—and never questioned? “You can't.” “You're not ready.” “People like you don't make it.” “It's too late.” “Be realistic.” But here is the question: WHO TOLD YOU? That question is about to become more than a conversation. It is becoming music. EXELLO is preparing to unveil WHO TOLD YOU? — a 12-track album built around questions many people spend their entire lives avoiding. And the countdown has begun. THIS IS NOT JUST ANOTHER ALBUM WHO TOLD YOU? explores the invisible forces shaping human choices: identity, attention, distraction, comfort, discipline, time, failure, purpose, character, responsibility, legacy and the future.

Where is your time going? ...
