Former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, took a break from
politics on Sunday, to attend the Graduation and Prize-Giving ceremony of
Pacesetters’ School in Abuja.
He seized the forum to advocate for a curriculum review that
not only imparts knowledge but also promotes entrepreneurship education.
According to Atiku, to unlock Nigeria’s human capital,
foster unity, and accelerate national development, a deliberate investment in
education is key.
He also asserted that education is the most powerful weapon
for human development, noting that it empowers young people to become
engineers, doctors, or whatever they aspire to be.
The former presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic
Party (PDP) also reflected on his own life journey, attributing his success to
the foundation laid by education.
He encouraged the graduating students to remain focused
while pursuing higher learning.
The former Vice President also reflected on his personal
experience with American Peace Corps teachers during his secondary school days
in 1961, after British teachers left Nigeria.
“They played a significant role in shaping my academic
foundation. That influence stayed with me and inspired me to adopt an
American-style curriculum in my own schools,” he revealed.
