私たちの教育は厳しい | Dr. Mohammed Malah | TEDxMaiduguri

ナイジェリアの教育制度は必要以上に厳しく、困難が成功の前提である必要はないという考えを、地質学者でエネルギー・気候政策の専門家であるモハメド・マラー博士が TEDxMaiduguri での講演で語っています。マイドゥグリでの自身の生い立ちを振り返りながら、長い繁栄の時代があった都市が、一時期の困難によって定義されるべきかと問いかけます。若い世代に対しては、困難の先を見つめるよう呼びかけています。

• マイドゥグリでの成長体験とボルノ州の歴史について語る個人的な話
• 都市は困難と繁栄のどちらによって定義されるのかという問い

This talk challenges the current educational system in Nigeria as unnecessarily hard. He argues that hardship is not a prerequisite for success. He shared the story of his upbringing in Maiduguri, chronicling the story of Borno as a story of hardship but he asks a question, can a city be defined by its period of hardship despite all the years of prosperity. Juxtaposing this story with that of young people, he challenges people to see beyond the hardship regardless.

His career spans upstream petroleum regulation, emissions reduction, sustainability, carbon management, and climate policy. His journey began in Maiduguri, where he attended Namu Primary School, Federal Government College Maiduguri, and the University of Maiduguri. He later obtained a master’s degree and PhD in Petroleum Geoscience from the University of Manchester in the United Kingdom. He also holds an MBA, which complements his technical background with knowledge of strategy, leadership, and organisational management. Over the years, he has contributed to policy development, regulatory initiatives, research, professional dialogue, and capacity-building programmes in Nigeria and across Africa. He is also committed to mentoring young people and expanding access to knowledge and opportunity. He considers himself a lifelong learner and continues to broaden his knowledge across science, policy, leadership, and management.
