Senate President and Presidential candidate, Ahmed Lawan has promised to reform the education sector if voted in 2023.
Lawan said this on Monday ahead of the All Progressive Congress (APC) primary election, while speaking to delegates in Minner, Niger State.
The Presidential candidate said he gained so much from the education sector which is why he deemed it fit for a reformation.
“We have to educate our youth and give them the best education at primary and secondary schools as future leaders.
“I will reform the educational system, and the opportunity to develop the country.
“Until we equip the youth with the right quality of education, they will not be the kind of leaders we need,” Lawan said.
He further stated the importance of education in promoting security in the country.
“For our tomorrow to be better and our today peaceful, we have to educate our youth, give them the best possible education and make our public schools very stable.
“Until sons and daughters of nobody go to school, stay in school, and complete primary and secondary school and even if they don’t proceed to tertiary institutions, they have a decent life to live so I promise to reform the education system,” he added.
The Senate President, speaking more on his agenda if he becomes president, added: “We need to consider our architecture of security and I believe in season participation in security.
“I want to see a situation where citizens who give information are protected and traditional institutions play a role in the security of the country.
“That will be my priority; to build on the success of Buhari.”
