Kwankwaso, who is the Senator for Kano State Central Senatorial District, said this at the second education summit of Igbajo Polytechnic, Igbajo, which was themed, “Though the Roots of Education are bitter, but the fruit is sweet”.

The governor said people must change their attitudes towards technical education for the development of technology in Nigeria.

“I want to also state here that I am a product of technical education, not only that I attended the Polytechnic also, I attended technical college and craft school," Kwankwaso said.

"We need to do some attitudinal change because we are different people.

“So many people have succeeded without the two institutions of higher learning, what is important is to make good contributions to humanity and earn living.

“I know several President ‎who have not gone to the university and they have contributed their quotas to the development of their countries and the world."

Also speaking at the event, Osun state Governor, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, condemned the discrimination of polytechnic graduates in Nigeria.
