The Yobe State Governor, Alhaji Bukar Abba Ibrahim has said that education will be foremost in his development agenda for the country if elected the President of Nigeria in 2007.
The Presidential aspirant on the platform of the ANPP said under his administration, if elected as governor, education would be free at the primary and the secondary school levels.
He described himself as standing out as the best and most experienced among all the Presidential aspirants in his party, stressing that with education as number one priority, "it will make us masters of our environment and not the other way round." He argued that development should be about man and should be centered on man. "For me, Education is every thing and that will be the basis of the other things we are going to unfold as we move forward.". On what he thought of the likely conduct of INEC in the forthcoming elections, he said the issue of neutrality of INEC and the provision of level playing ground for all the political parties is important. |
