Former Vice president and People’s democratic party (PDP) presidential candidate in the forthcoming 2023 general elections have said investment in Education pays the best dividends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Atiku made the disclose this on Wednesday on the sidelines of the graduation ceremony of the Anglia Ruskin University (ARU) in Cambridge, United Kingdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Atiku who happende to be among the graduands couldn’t attend the graduation ceremony in solidarity with Nigerian students who have been on strike for the past five months due to the inability of the FG to reach an agreement with the striking union.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said “In all honesty I could not mount the podium with other graduands to collect my certificate today. I had worked hard to complete my studies and was excitedly looking forward to donning the graduation robe and collecting my certificate. However, I am compelled to skip the event in solidarity with our students who through no fault of theirs are being degraded at home.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n on the importance of education, he said \u201cEducation is a game changer because it unlocks the sustainable \u201ccrude oil\u201d in the brain as against that in the bowels of the earth.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cEducation remains a priority to me. That explains why I invested in it and was prepared against all odds to walk this journey that has earned me a higher degree today.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n He therefore pleaded with the Federal Government and ASUU to resolve all extant issues to pave the way for the strike to be called off so that students can return to school for their own good and to the benefit of our country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Even more importantly, he counselled on the need for all stakeholders in the society to make the funding of ASUU a continuous and deliberate policy for the sake of our youth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Source: MySchoolNews<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Former Vice president and People’s democratic party (PDP) presidential candidate in the forthcoming 2023 general elections have said investment in<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2814,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_container_layout":"default_layout","colormag_page_sidebar_layout":"default_layout","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2813","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"\n
