The Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, Dr. Folasade Yemi-Esan, has said that Federal Government will do everything within its powers to ensure that all Nigerians are well educated.
Yemi-Esan made the statement while receiving the Mayor of London, Borough of Southwark, Michael Situ, and his team, in Abuja, the nation’s capital.
The Mayor and his delegation were on a working visit to the Office of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation to discuss avenues of collaboration and student exchange programme.
The HoSF disclosed that the news of the visit was received with great enthusiasm because “education for all is a responsibility for all”.
According to Yemi-Esan; “For us, we want to do everything possible to ensure that our citizens at all levels are well educated believing in its efficacy to emancipate people and make them contribute, positively, to societal development”.
The HoSF appreciated the Mayor for focusing on secondary school students as beneficiaries of the exchange programme between Nigeria and the United Kingdom.
She added; “They are the future of the Service, nurturing them at that stage will ease their transition into the public sector, in future.
“We need to get our children back to school to get quality education, in order to contribute favourably to the growth and development of our dear country”.
