According to him, “The Ministry of Education is deeply honoured that the sector has been chosen as the channel through which the late president’s legacy will be permanently enshrined.
“President Tinubu’s decision reflects not only deep empathy and respect but also a firm belief in education as the bedrock of national development.
“His commitment to human capital development is unwavering and consistent with the path of national renewal that President Buhari championed.”
The minister maintained that the symbolic gesture underscored the administration’s recognition of education as a cornerstone for sustainable development and national identity.
