PRESIDENT Bola Tinubu has vowed to ensure that Nigeria’s children have solid footing for the realisation of their dreams.
The President, in a statement issued by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale, to mark this year’s Children’s Day, on Monday, May 27, celebrated children as the bearers of the country’s torch into the future.
He also 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, hardwork and charity are passed down to the shining lights of tomorrow.
He said society is a reflection of each family unit as a collective, urging the preservation of those principles that make the country a wholesome, nurturing and thriving country, noting that with increased investments in education and the recent overhauling of the sector 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 to get the country’s precious gifts off the streets, the emphasis of his administration would continue to expand access to qualitative education for all Nigerians.
Tinubu reassured the country of his commitment to ensuring a safe and secure ambience of learning for the children, while improving the standard of education.
