National Institute for Policy and Strategic Studies ( NIPSS), Kuru, Jos, Plateau State, in a bid to enhance national development, wants to partner the National Lottery Trust Fund (NLTF).
NIPSS Director General, Ayo Omotayo, who made this known when he led a delegation from the institute on a courtesy visit to the Executive Secretary of NLTF, Bello Maigari, in Abuja, said the institute was seeking close working relationship with the NLTF in the areas of education and intellectual development.
“I am here today with my management team to strengthen and seek strong partnership with the NLTF in areas of needs that will assist us to build a better society.
“We see NLTF as an excellent organisation that will partner us in the areas of education and intellectuals promotion to move our dear country forward,’’ Omotayo said.
He said Nigeria has a lot of smart and intellectual people, who are currently idle, and expressed hope the partnership would help to bring those precious intellectuals to NIPSS for the betterment of Nigeria.
“Moving Nigeria to greater heights is not a task for an individual, but a job that needs collective efforts and responsibilities.
“President Muhammadu Buhari alone cannot move Nigeria to greater heights; it is our collective responsibility, so let us come together and solve Nigeria’s problem for a better society,’’ Omotayo said.
Maigari said no fewer than 30 universities and other higher Institutions of learning across Nigeria had sent in requests for educational intervention from the NLTF.
