Sad still and very unfortunate, the leaders of the country did not see anything unacceptable and embarrassing on the retrogressive development. No wonder thousands of Nigerians migrated abroad to some neighboring countries where certificates are bought and sold like household commodities. Everybody just went on as if education, the bedrock of development and advancement of society does not count again in Nigeria. This is clearly a sad commentary and development in the national life of the country. It was a year that all the workers in the public universities embarked on strike that culminated in the closure of the universities for a record period of eight months with impunity and without solutions to the issues that warranted the imbroglio in the first instance. The sector witnessed unimaginable crisis especially at tertiary level. The education sector that is the primary constituency of this writer suffered significantly in 2022. Therefore, what we set out to do this first very week of 2023 is to highlight and examine the major events and activities of 2022 to be able to come up with realistic positions and recommendations that can propel the growth of the country in 2023 and beyond. Consequently, a good way to begin 2023 is to revisit happenings and events of outgone 2022. This is because society that failed to reflect and reckon with its past performance will find it difficult to move forward. Otherwise, the country will continue to drift and may regress as we witnessed in 2022. Suffice it to say that we need to take stock of the previous year to be able to determine how the society has fared in the past. This is necessary to be able to chart a better path for the country in the new year and create the society of our dreams. With the advent of 2023, a brand-new year, it is incumbent the people of the country like in most societies as they begin a cycle of new year, to look back and take stock of events in the past year. It was a year in which many things seemed not to have worked, a situation where the country seems to be moving backwards instead of forward in some vital sectors of the country’s national space. The year recorded several devastations and widespread decimation of the citizens of the country. However, the evils of the year appeared to predominate and had made some individuals including this writer to see the outgone year as a difficult one that had in its trail some of the most destructive activities and occurrences in recent years. No doubt the year had had its fair share of goodies, ills and hiccups. T he year 2022 has come and gone into the dustbin of history of humanity like several years.
