President Bola Tinubu has assured that his administration would spare no effort in ensuring that the Nigerian children have a solid footing for the realisation of their dreams.
He reassured the nation of his commitment to ensuring a safe and secure ambience of learning for the children, while improving the standard of education.
He gave the assurance as Nigeria joined the rest of the world to celebrate Children’s Day.
The President, who described children as the bearers of the nation’s torch into the future said he rejoiced with parents, guardians, and families across the nation, and called for a reinforcement of the family unit as a place where the sacred values of honesty, modesty, hard work and charity are passed down to the shining lights of tomorrow.
He affirmed that society is a reflection of each family unit as a collective, urging the preservation of those principles that make Nigeria a wholesome, nurturing, and thriving nation.
He stated that his administration was sparing no effort in ensuring that Nigerian children have a solid footing for the realisation of their dreams.
With increased investments in education, and the recent overhauling of the entire education system to provide both human and material resources for learning, as well as the efforts of the National Commission for Almajiri and Out-of-School Children Education to get the nation’s precious gifts off the streets, the President stressed that his administration would continue to expand access to qualitative education for all Nigerians.
