The Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Sen. George Akume, has reiterated President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s commitment to improving the standard of education in the country, saying education remains the cornerstone of his administration.
SGF made the assertion when a powerful delegation from the Eternal Sacred Order of the Cherubim & Seraphim (ESOCS), led by its Prelate, His Most Eminence Baba Aladura David Bob-Manuel, paid him a courtesy visit in Abuja.
In a statement, Segun Imohiosen, the director of information in his office, stated that during his tenure as the Executive Governor of Lagos State, President Tinubu was able to return missionary schools to their rightful owners despite stiff resistance to better management.
He added that as part of his commitment to ensuring access to higher education for every Nigerian, he also introduced the Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND), where eligible students could obtain interest-free loans.
Sen. Akume acknowledged the efforts of the religious bodies in the country in providing education and healthcare and fostering peace and unity among their adherents.
He assured us its readiness to partner with religious bodies to strengthen peaceful co-existence and national development.
Speaking earlier, the Prelate of the Eternal Sacred Order of the Cherubim & Seraphim (ESOCS), His Most Eminence Baba Aladura David Bob-Manuel, expressed their unalloyed solidarity with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and assured them of their readiness to collaborate with the Government towards the actualisation of the Renewed Hope Agenda.
He congratulated the President on his election and the appointment of the SGF.
The high point of the visit was the presentation of centenary souvenirs to the SGF, meant to commemorate its 100 years of ministry, and the offering of prayer for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the SGF, and the nation at large for peace, unity, and sustainable development.
