The President promised to revitalize the education sector, accompanied by Yusuf Sununu, the Minister of State for Education.
According to him, his administration would keep funding research and education to make sure Nigerian graduates are competitive in a world that is always evolving.
The President reaffirmed his commitment to bolstering Nigeria’s high-quality educational system at all levels and positioned the country to compete more globally.
According to him, the administration has embarked on programmes that would revive the economy, prioritising education and increase business in young people.
“As a government, we can not pretend that our nation is facing challenges of poverty, insecurity, and political instability amid infrastructural deficiency.
“Our graduates and the University system have a potential to make a significant contribution in addressing these challenges and creating a better future for all,” Tinubu stated.
According to him, his government will revive Nigeria economy and ensure the security of lives and property.
