Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo has come out to say that the Federal Government is working tirelessly on initiatives that would bring back quality education and sustainable future for all citizens.
Mr. Yemi disclosed this in Lagos during the 2019 edition of Edu360, organized by Union Bank of Nigeria Plc, with the theme “Education beyond walls”.
According to him, for Nigerians to prosper, the government must work on inclusive education.
He added that this administration has spent more than N1.6 trillion in the education sector in the last few years through the Universal Basic Education Commission (UBEC), and this has led to the enhanced literacy level, inclusive and qualitative education system.
His words, “As a forward thinking government, we remain committed to providing basic education for all,”
Osinbajo believes that with technology, education would be chased by government to fasten development, maximise impact and boost Nigeria’s education indices.
He then requested for a deeper collaboration between the public and private sector to reshape the education system to where it should be and make the future of the youths, super bright.
Do you honestly feel all these can be a reality?
