" "Adult education is a multi-disciplinary field that is all-embracing. It’s all-embracing in that up till now, we have not even got a precise definition of adult education. A layman sees adult education as a kind of education for elderly people, forgetting that the constitutional definition of adult education in Nigeria starts from the age of 18. However, there are different definitions of who an adult is from country to country, region to region, state to state.

We seriously need the commitment of the government; they need to sit up and be up and doing to support education programmes in Nigeria, be it at the non-governmental organisation, agency or commission level. Encouragement must be given, so also financial support must be forthcoming, because without money, there is a limit to what we can achieve. Then, the round peg should be in the round hole; let an adult educator be at the helm of affairs of adult education.
