In his words, “We will use the opportunity of our being in this government and in line with the mantra of this government. That is, the renewed hope agenda of this administration, we will use this opportunity to continue to reiterate that we will pursue an agenda that will bring a new lease of life for Nigerians.

“We shall very soon usher in a new era of economic development, national transformation and unprecedented prosperity that will touch the lives of all Nigerians. In the midst of this transformation, education, especially tertiary education will occupy a prominent place and priority.

“This is because it is a firm belief of this administration that Nigeria’s most important, if not its most important asset is its human capital and therefore, no stone will be left unturned to develop the educational sector. This will be done like I said, in accordance with the renewed hope agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.”
