The world renown scholar, Nelson Mandela, once said, "Education is the most powerful weapon in which you can use to change the world.” As rightly stated by the South African Nationalist, education is powerful, formal, or informal, it is the most virile instrument of change and development of any nation, state, or region. The power of education is indefatigable.
