The Vice-Chancellor of Taraba State University (TSU), Jalingo, Prof. Sunday Paul Bako, has issued a passionate call to action for philanthropists and stakeholders to prioritize strategic investments in Nigeria’s education sector.

Prof. Bako made this appeal while speaking as a guest at the 10th Matriculation Ceremony of Peacock College of Education, Jalingo.

Prof. Bako concluded by congratulating the matriculants, urging them to justify the investments made in their future by remaining dedicated to their academic pursuits.
