The standard bearer of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu has promised to prioritize education in his administration.
Tinubu said that Nigerians would have unrestricted access to education as entrenched in the Constitution under his watch.
He also promised to develop new accreditation standards for all institutions of learning from primary to tertiary levels if elected next year.
According to him, a new curriculum to promote national unity and pride, as well as the entrepreneurial spirit, will also be developed for primary and secondary schools.
All these were contained in his 80-page campaign document tagged “Renewed Hope 2023 – Action Plan for a Better Nigeria.” The document was unveiled on Friday at the Banquet Hall of the State House, in Abuja.
Unveiling his plan for the education sector, Tinubu said: “As a matter of pragmatism, as well as principle, our progressive government will treat education as a natural and constitutional right for all Nigerians.”
The former Lagos governor says he plans to reform the sector focusing on quality, access, funding, management, effectiveness, and competitiveness to achieve this.
