He stressed that education is the fulcrum that carries national development and human capital enhancement, and that it should not be shut down as Nigeria is currently doing.
He, however, expressed delight at the fact that the JPTS and its partnering international institutions have weathered the storm reasonably through strategic involvement and digitalisation.

According to him, the move has offered a lease to Nigerian youths who would have been totally caught in the web of government-lecturers unending faceoff.
He described as worrisome a situation where students in states like Zamfara have continued to stay out of school for three years running, buttressing that such portends danger for the youths of that state and that region.
Professor Imumolen pointed that digitalisation of the system and the involvement and inclusion of young professionals in the sector will bring the seriously sought panacea and stability in Nigeria's education sector.
Two graduates of the Institute, Toha Ibrahim and Peter Ojogunwa both won one million naira each from Prof. Imumolen's support system for being quality youths and adding value to the system.
While admonishing the winners to be prudent, he implored others to always think of uniqueness and value.
The JPTS educational opportunities are sandwiched between layers of scholarship and has been on for about two decades.
It has offered scholarships to over 500,000 Nigerians and has continued to ensure unique human capital development by offering international certifications through partnering institutions spread in three continents, Africa, North and South America, through credit transfer and evaluation.
More private and digital universities should be given operational license, says Imumolen
Recall that Professor Imumolen recently laid out his blueprint for reforms in Nigeria's educational sector.
The Accord Party presidential candidate says under his watch as president, there will be total revolution of the sector.
He also stated that under his watch, the frequent ASUU strikes witnessed in the country will be a thing of the past.
