on education for the mutual benefit of the two entities, Governor Aminu
Waziri Tambuwal has said.
Speaking in Sokoto Wednesday at a breakfast meeting he held for the
visiting Head of the Council, Sir Ciaron Devane and his team, Tambuwal said
his administration’s commitment to education remains firm.
“This government, as well as religious and traditional institutions in the
state, have made education out topmost priority and we will ensure that
every child gets access to quality education,” the Governor said.
According to him, despite its efforts, the state government needs help from
all stakeholders to enable it achieve its set objectives.
In his remarks, Devane both the Sokoto government and British Council will
collaborate closely in areas of school leadership, higher and basic
education, and teacher development.
He commended Tambuwal for his foresight in prioritising education, saying
the investment in the sector will pay important dividend in the future.
While adding that British Council has experience of working in 115
countries, Devane said they have a lot to offer Sokoto state and Nigeria.
He said the British Council has been involved with Nigeria since 1943, and
will continue to work with all stakeholders to develop education in Nigeria.
