Bilaad Development Trust has called on stakeholders in the development sector to foster a culture of collaboration and partnership by working together to pool resources and expertise towards inclusive education for the less privileged.
Chairman of the trust, Usman Manko Babayitso gave the charge in Abuja during the launch of Bilaad Development Trust with the aim of bridging the divide and curating a prosperous and egalitarian society through education and entrepreneurial skills.
According to him, by providing quality education to all, stakeholders can equip individuals with the knowledge, skills, and confidence they need to overcome challenges to seize opportunities that come their way.
He said stakeholders must foster entrepreneurship and innovation in a rapidly changing world where new industries emerge and traditional ones evolve, as it is imperative to empower them to adapt, innovate, and create their own opportunities.
He said, “The answer lies in our collective commitment to creating an environment that nurtures and supports the growth of every individual, regardless of their background or circumstances, let us strive to build schools, train teachers, and provide scholarships, so that no child is denied the chance to learn and grow.
By supporting aspiring entrepreneurs with mentorship, funding, and resources, we enable them to turn their ideas into reality and contribute to economic growth and social development… we must prioritize inclusivity and diversity, by embracing different perspectives, cultures, and backgrounds, we enrich our communities and unlock a vast array of untapped potential”.
” Let us create spaces where everyone feels valued, respected, and heard. By breaking down barriers and promoting inclusivity, we create a fertile ground for excellence to flourish and failure to be transformed into valuable lessons, let us forge alliances with governments, businesses, and civil society organizations, united in our pursuit of a future where opportunity knows no bounds”, he added.
