May 27, (THEWILL)- President Bola Tinubu has called for reinforcement of the family unit as a place where the sacred values of honesty, modesty, hard work and charity are passed down to the children in the country.
The President made this call on Monday, as he celebrated Nigeria’s children, the bearers of the nation’s torch into the future, on the special occasion of Children’s Day.
In a statement issued through his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale, the President rejoiced with parents, guardians, and families across the nation while affirming that society was a reflection of each family unit as a collective and urged the preservation of those principles that make the people a wholesome, nurturing, and thriving nation.
He said his administration was sparing no effort in ensuring that Nigeria’s children have a solid footing for the realisation of their dreams.
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, the President emphasised that his administration would continue to expand access to qualitative education for all Nigerians.
Tinubu reassured the nation of his commitment to ensuring a safe and secure ambience of learning for the children while improving the standard of education.
