Tinubu Pledge Education, Jobs For Nigerian Youths

President Bola Tinubu has said democracy must be advanced with a primary focus on practically addressing poverty through the provision of job opportunities for youths and quality education for all Nigerian youth.

President Tinubu supported the National Institute of Progressive Studies (NIPS) being established by the party in a statement released by presidential spokesman Ajuri Ngelale after meeting with members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) National Working Committee (NWC) on Thursday in Lagos.

The President stated that in addition to giving the party a unique identity, the Institute is supposed to carry out thorough study and instruct all party members on the fundamentals of democracy and good government.

”Democracy has faced challenges in the past, but I believe in a promising future for our country. We will deliver it. I am committed to supporting a strong and ideologically determined democracy that is progressive, inclusive, and focused on eliminating poverty while providing quality education for our children.

”Collaboration with various government arms is crucial, and I commend the leadership of our party for working hard to promote these essential ideals,” the President stated.

”I stand solidly with you in the advancement of the progressive ideological stance of our party and we will pursue it with vigour,” he stated.

”It has been a while since we have had the opportunity to come together, especially since the Supreme Court ruling. I had hoped for a gathering, but the demanding tasks of my office that we fought for have called for increased focus, dedication and time.

Expressing concern about the alarming figure of out-of-school children in the country, President Tinubu declared: ”We must address this issue by establishing more schools, recruiting teachers, and providing at least one meal a day for the school children, aligning with the progressive ideology we aim to pursue.”
