The First Lady of the Federal Republic of Nigeria Senator Oluremi Tinubu has restated that education was very vital and the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu would continue to accord it the prominence it deserves.
This was at the flag-off of the distribution of exercise books to public primary school pupils and junior secondary school students across the Nation.
The exercise which is under the Education Program of the Renewed Hope Initiative, RHI will give each state of the federation 50,000 exercise books while Kano and Lagos States will get 100,000 exercise books due to the population.
Senator Oluremi Tinubu said the distribution which would be through each State Universal Education Board maybe an annual event.
“There is nothing too much to do for our children. We have started the distribution with Lagos State and today the wife of the Kogi State Governor will receive for her State”.
The First Lady admonished the children present to be focused on their studies noting that the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will do right to ensure a good life for all the children.
“Stay in school. Do not join bad gangs, don’t succumb to peer- pressure. We will do all we can for you to get a good life”.
Earlier, the Executive Secretary of the Universal Basic Education Commission, UBEC Dr Hamid Bobboyi applauded the First Lady for the initiative, emphasizing the importance of writing materials to the school system.
He said many State Universal Education Boards neglect this aspect of the system.
“This will go a long way in rectifying the lacuna and improve our school system”.
“This donation shows that she is really committed to making the lives of children and even women too, better”.
With the symbolic presentation, all states coordinators of the Renewed Hope Initiative, RHI who are the Wives of the Governors, would begin to pick up their exercise books immediately for onward distribution to the public primary school pupils and junior secondary school students.
