Students under the aegis of the Asiwaju National Students Support Organization, ANSSO, have congratulated the former Lagos State Governor, Bola Tinubu, for clinching the All Progressives Congress, APC, presidential ticket.
The group, led by Mr Giwa Murtala Omatola-Moore, expressed optimism in a statement signed by the leader, that the Asiwaju of Lagos would transform the education sector if elected as president of the country in 2023.
According to the statement, Tinubu has the capacity to reunite all ethnic groups in the country, stressing that he had previously proved his competence by recruiting Nigerians “across all divides devoid of tribe, religion and geographical placement to serve under his administration as executive Governor of Lagos”.
“When Bola Ahmad Tinubu became Governor in 1999, he initiated and began the era of reform, rehabilitation, and rebuilding of the education sector in Lagos state with the goal of making public schools, particularly at the primary level, appealing to the populace.
“Tinubu invested about N1 billion in Lagos State University in 2006, making him the only Governor to do so.
“By July 2000, Bola Ahmad Tinubu launched a free education exercise for all Lagos State public schools, including free registration of WAEC and NECO”.
The group vowed to mobilize other students for the national leader of the ruling party to ensure his emergence as the successor of President Muhammadu Buhari in 2023.
DAILY POST recalls that public university students are currently at home following a strike action by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) on February 14.
