Earlier, the FCTA’s education secretary, Dr Danlami Hayyo, said that the critical role the subject plays in shaping the fabric of society goes beyond the management of the household but about equipping individuals, especially young people, with essential skills needed to have a healthy, productive and balanced life.

Hayyo, who was represented by FCTA Department of Quality Assurance deputy director Malam Rilwan Mudi, said the subject has remained relevant, dynamic and responsive to the changing needs of society.
He commended the association’s leadership in FCT for being a beacon of excellence and advocating for the promotion of home economics at all levels of education.

The education secretary urged the association to keep preparing students to navigate this era of technological advancement, globalisation and complex social challenges by equipping them with the knowledge and competencies needed to thrive in a modern and interconnected world.
