From Juliana Taiwo-Obalonye, Abuja

President Bola Tinubu has assured Nigerians that his administration will spare no effort in ensuring that the country’s children have a solid foundation for achieving their dreams.

He further reassured the nation of his commitment to providing a safe and secure learning environment for children while improving the standard of education.

In a statement issued by Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale, the President gave the assurance as Nigeria joins the rest of the world in celebrating Children’s Day. He described children as the bearers of the nation’s torch into the future.

The President said he rejoices with parents, guardians, and families across the nation and called 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.

He affirmed 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.

The President emphasized that his administration is sparing no effort in ensuring that Nigeria’s children have a solid foundation for the realization of their dreams.

With increased investments in education, the recent overhaul of the entire education system to provide both human and material resources for learning, and 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 emphasized that his administration will continue to expand access to qualitative education for all Nigerians.
