The initiative is a ₦100 billion annual education support programme to improve Nigeria’s education sector and expand access to quality learning nationwide.

Projected to cost ₦1 trillion over 10 years, the initiative will benefit students at all educational levels through targeted schemes.

Let us live our lives so that posterity will remember us not for the offices we held or the titles we bore. Posterity must remember us for the doors we opened and the lives we transformed.”
