and girls, particularly those residing in the North, to further their
education so that they could avail themselves of opportunities that
may arise in the future.
She gave the advise yesterday December 14th at the closing
ceremony of the Skills Acquisition and Empowerment Training
Programme initiated and sponsored by her pet project, Future
Assured in Bauchi. She stated that it was after she got married
that she furthered her education.
“When I got married, I had only the secondary school
qualification. I didn’t know that my husband would become
president, but I continued with my education and this is
where God has brought me to today. Education has become
a compulsory thing that we must acquire. We must
understand English Language and speak it, so that when
any intervention comes, we will benefit from it. People
should continue to go to school, even if you will not work
in an office; but, go, so that when opportunities come up
tomorrow, you will not be left out. Nobody should relent or
give up going to school. We should keep reading and
schooling for the benefit of the society.”
