Malam Bello, who reiterated the commitment of the FCT Administration to the development of the education sector and the improvement of the welfare of FCT teachers, also charged them to ensure quality of teaching in schools.
“Education is the bedrock of society and no nation desirous of progress and development can afford to ignore the education sector.
“We remain committed to the development of education in all its ramifications in the FCT and we will continue to commit time and resources to ensure that the sector meets up with the expectations of residents of the FCT,” he stressed.
According to a statement by the Minister’s Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Anthony Ogunleye, Bello also assured of commitment to the improvement of the welfare of teachers and manpower development to enhance quality of teaching.
