My experience as Governor has shown the transformative power of prioritizing education, and I believe collaborations like this can reshape Nigeria’s educational landscape, thereby ensuring our nation assumes its rightful place globally. With partnerships like these, we can build a stronger, more inclusive Nigeria equipped to meet future challenges. A new Nigeria is becoming increasingly POssible! -PO.”
