President Bola Tinubu has vowed that his administration will spare no effort in making sure that the future is secured for the next generation.
In his message on the celebration of Children’s Day, the President also called on parents to make sure they work to reinforce the family unit as a place where the “sacred values of honesty, modesty, hard work and charity are passed down to the shining lights of tomorrow.”
Ajuri Ngelale, Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity in a statement on Monday, said Tinubu celebrated Nigerian children, the bearers of the nation’s torch into the future, on the special occasion of Children’s Day.
The President, who stated that his administration was sparing no effort in ensuring that Nigeria’s children have a solid footing for the realization of their dreams, reassured of his administration’s “commitment to ensuring a safe and secure ambience of learning for the children while improving the standard of education.”
Part of the statement said: “The President rejoices with parents, guardians, and families across the nation, and calls for a reinforcement of the family unit as a place where the sacred values of honesty, modesty, hard work and charity are passed down to the shining lights of tomorrow.
“President Tinubu affirms that society is a reflection of each family unit as a collective, urging the preservation of those principles that make us a wholesome, nurturing, and thriving nation.”
He said with increased investments in education and the recent overhauling of the entire education system 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 Education to get the nation’s precious gifts off the streets, Tinubu administration would continue to expand access to qualitative education for all Nigerians.
