“It is not out of place to passionately implore parents and guardians, well meaning Nigerians, non-governmental organizations and other stakeholders to emulate this good gesture and give full support to the development of education by providing infrastructural facilities such as buildings, classrooms, furniture and learning materials. With that, our great nation would attain the desired goal of Vision 2020,” Saka said.
