The Chairman of Upper Benue River Basin Development Authority, Alhaji Sanusi Baban Takko, has called for the establishment of President Ahmed Bola Tinubu’s Skill Acquisition Centres in all states of the federation and the Federal Capital Territory.
Alhaji Baban Takko made the call in a statement released at the weekend.
The prominent Bauchi State politician said the centres should be established and funded from ten percent of student loan scheme funds.
He is of the opinion that “the centres will provide equal opportunities for those not interested in formal education.”
Alhaji Baban Takko urged beneficiaries of student loan scheme to reciprocate the gesture of government by paying attention to their education.
He said “The Jagaban Borgu Kingdom-led visionary leadership has made a significant impact on the educational sector, restored back sanity and confidence of Nigerians in revitalizing the sector to global standards.
“This demonstration of love and compassion by President Tinubu reinforces his commitment to educational development and the prosperity of indigent Nigerian students. ”
“However, I urge the beneficiaries to reciprocate this gesture by justifying the investment in their education. Study hard, make your parents and the nation proud, and be good ambassadors of Nigeria.”
