The education of young girls should not just be a top priority, Nigerian children must also be taught the highest standards of honesty, piety, and hard work, to build a healthier, happier and more prosperous society.
Vice President Yemi Osinbajo expressed these views, yesterday, at the virtual inauguration of the school-based Management Board of Adawiyya Girls Academy, Minannata community, in Sokoto State.
The Academy, established in collaboration with Text Foundation , is a state-of-the-art school designed to provide high-quality education to young girls from less privileged backgrounds using advanced teaching tools. According to the Vice President, “ignorance has no benefit. Ignorance is darkness but education is the bright light of knowledge that can help us to live healthier, happier and more prosperous lives.”
He said: “I am glad that the students of Adawiyya Girls Academy Sokoto have this great opportunity of being offered both conventional and religious education, using the most advanced modern teaching tools available in our time.”
