Nigeria’s Vice President, Kashim Shettima, has charged the North East Development Commission (NEDC) to maintain its gains in addressing education and infrastructural challenges in the region.
Papers News reports that Vice President Shettima said posterity would judge the commission fairly for going beyond infrastructure development to investing in education and green technology through the Accelerated Senior Secondary Education Programme (ASSEP).
He described ASSEP as the actual game changer in the age and time, pointing out that education was the greatest leveller through which even a son of a peasant could become a celebrated icon.
