The Minister of Education, Dr. Maruf Olatunji Alausa, has extended heartfelt appreciation to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, for conferring on him the national honour of Commander of the Order of the Niger (CON).
He said that this recognition is not only a testament to the president’s confidence in the ministry’s efforts to transform Nigeria’s education sector, but also a reflection of the renewed hope agenda that places education, youth empowerment, and digital inclusion at the heart of national progress.
Dr. Alausa commended President Tinubu’s visionary leadership, particularly his bold investment in initiatives such as the Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND), as well as the administration’s commitment to expanding opportunities for young people through Technical and Vocational Education Training among others.
“These interventions are pivotal in ensuring Nigerian youth are not just job-ready, but future-ready, applauding the President’s ambitious project to lay fibre optic cables across the nation—an initiative that promises to revolutionize digital learning, bridge the connectivity gap, and position Nigeria’s youth to thrive in a competitive global economy,” he said.
Dr. Alausa reaffirmed his commitment to driving reforms that will enhance learning outcomes, promote innovation, and guarantee inclusive access to quality education for every Nigerian.
The Director, Press and Public Relations, Boriowo Folasade
viewed this honour as a renewed call to service, while extending deep appreciation to President Tinubu for his unwavering support towards steering a more inclusive, progressive, and digitally empowered future.
