“Dr. Sani’s appointment, which is well-deserved, testifies to his exceptional qualifications, experience, and commitment to the well-being of Nigerian children,” he said.
Senator Ahmad Lawan, however, lamented that “his proven leadership abilities and track record in the field of education make him an ideal candidate for this crucial role.
He revealed that out-of-school children face numerous challenges that hinder their access to quality education and opportunities. Without a doubt, Dr. Sani’s appointment as the Executive Secretary of the commission is a significant step towards addressing these challenges and ensuring that every child in Nigeria has the chance to fulfill their potential.
I am confident that under his guidance, the National Commission for Almajiri and Out-of-School Children Education will implement policies and programs of the President Bola Tinubu-led administration aimed at. Identifying and enrolling out-of-school children, providing alternative education pathways, and advocating for the rights of vulnerable children.
He pointed out that Dr. Sani’s efforts will undoubtedly improve the lives of countless children who have been deprived of the opportunity to learn and grow.
Therefore, I extend my best wishes for his success in his challenging but rewarding role. Once again, congratulations to him on his well-deserved appointment.
