“He had taken the initiative earlier in May to invite me as the Special Guest of Honour to their primary six school graduation ceremony.
“I was happy to share interactive moments with the children, the future leaders of our nation. I was greatly moved by the confident expressions of their lofty dreams and aspirations in life. Their dreams are valid and will go a long way in building a better Nigeria.
“Building a better and conducive environment for our children to fulfil their potentials and achieve their dreams has continued to fuel our passion and strengthen our resolve in the struggle for a better nation.
“I encouraged their parents and teachers to remain exemplary guardians to the children as they grow up and throughout their lives. I recounted to them how, even as a Governor, my seniors and teachers in school remained my guardians and advised me when necessary.
“I thanked the Management and Staff of Corona School for their relentless efforts in raising responsible citizens of society while encouraging them to remain dedicated to educating the children.
He added, “Every Nigerian child deserves a better future filled with opportunities. We remain committed to building a society where our children will live, thrive and fulfill their potentials. That is my vision of the New Nigeria which is now very possible.”
