Muhammadu Buhari has ordered the Minister of Education to convene a ministerial summit on education within the next few weeks.
The president was represented by Prof. Abubakar Abdulrasheed, the Executive Secretary of the National University Commission (NUC).
“My government will not allow the country to miss the globally agreed Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) train, the driving force of which is education.
“Any success recorded in education will have a ripple effect on every other sector of our life,” he said.
He said: “Those who fan embers of division must refrain from the unacceptable tendencies; retrace their steps and learn to live together with one another”.
President Buhari added that the government will only recognize legitimate aspirations of the citizens but should be done with good faith, within the bounds of rationality and without infringing on the rights of others.
He said how the students comport themselves in the trying times goes a long way in testing the ideals for which the institution is known.
“The will to win, means nothing without the will to prepare”; adding that as ambassadors of Unilorin, they must be diligence and reduce quest for materialism.
