I think that looking at Nigeria is instructive precisely because it is so ordinary among developing nations, while still being massive. Nigeria's biggest asset is probably its population, and since Nigeria is one of the most-populated parts of Africa, education is very important for keeping society on its path. At the same time, any lessons learned about improving education in Nigeria can be brought to the rest of Africa and the world.
