Minister of Education, Prof Tahir Mamman,z and the Minister of State for Education Dr Yusuf Tanko Sununu have applauded President Bola Tinubu over the double digit 2024 budget proposal for the Education sector.
They described the development as a significant improvement over the last couple of years, adding that it underscores the premium the President attaches to the education sector.
A statement by Ben Bem Goong, Director, Press and Public Relations at the ministry quoted the ministers as stating this Tuesday at the start of a two-day retreat for Education stakeholders in Uyo, the Akwa Ibom State capital, promised to justify the confidence reposed in them by the President through the faithful implementation of the education Roadmap and his Renewed Hope agenda.
Mamman noted that with the Presidency and the National Assembly being on the same page in their resolve to confront the challenges facing the country, this administration is unstoppable.
Acknowledging the efforts of previous administrations in the development of the education sector, he noted that a lot still has to be done in areas of infrastructural development, teacher quality, and security of our institutions as well as access to quality education especially for the vulnerable groups.
Mamman specifically charged Heads of Parastatals and Agencies to work assiduously and collectively to enhance the quality of education delivery at all levels for the benefit of the country.
Speaking earlier in his welcome address, Sununu noted that the proposed 2024 budget for the sector is an indication that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is tenaciously focusing on improving the quality of education for enhanced livelihoods, positive economic outcomes, and level playing field for all actors in the sector.
He commended the dogged efforts of his colleague, the Minister, the Permanent secretary and other stakeholders, whom he said, had worked assiduously for the development, critique and compilation of the 2024-2027 Roadmap for the education sector.
