Beyond being a testament to your intellectual acumen, your success in earning your respective degrees indicates your diligence and perseverance since a university degree course is more akin to a marathon than a 100m dash.

“However, it is also critical to point out to you that this is not the end but rather the beginning. Ahead of you still lies most of life’s winding road with its emotional “hills and valleys”. Yes, I must tell you that life will most likely still throw at you all many twists and challenges which you must surmount if you must reach those ambitious personal objectives you have, no doubt, set for yourselves.”

The governor noted that in realization of his set targets in education, the government will be spending close to 30% of its 2024 budget on education. Which is well above the 15-25% recommended by international development agencies.

He described education as the magic key that will ensure that every citizen is given a fair chance at life.

Do not use your talent to hurt your neighbor.
