In’tl Children’s Day: Senator Tokunbo Abiru Celebrates Nigerian Children

​Edited By Araba, Olawale Enifenilanfe


Senator wishes Nigeria's children, says behalf of my family and the good people of Lagos East Senatorial District, I celebrate with all Nigerian Children on the 2023 commemoration of the International Children's Day. 

“Investing in our future means investing in our children”, which is the theme for the 2023 Children’s Day is very apt in the light of the global happenings in the current fourth Industrial revolution age. No doubt, for our dear nation Nigeria to maximise her full potential, leaders, parents and guardians  must consciously invest in the right skills for our kids for them to be relevant in the fast changing world.

On this score, as the Senator representing Lagos East Senatorial District, have prioritised investment in the future of our kids and young people under his endowment pillar. 

At SAIL Innovation Lab (co-founded with his lovely wife), many kids in public and private schools in my Senatorial district are being taught Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) free of charge.

We are laying a solid foundation for them to have a head start in life and contribute meaningfully to the socio-economic development of Nigeria and also make enduring impacts on the global stage.

Likewise, he has instituted a bursary scheme for brilliant but indigent higher institution students in the Lagos East Senatorial district. At the launch of the maiden edition, 600 of our children across the 16 LGs/LCDAs in the district benefited from the scheme. These and many more are the modest interventions we are making to create a better future for our children and by extension our dear country, he said.

As we celebrate this important day, the Distinguished Senator Abiru hereby admonish Nigeria kids to remain resilient and focused. They should leverage the power of internet technology to harness vast resources for human capital development. The future is bright !

Happy International Children's Day.


Signed:

Senator Mukhail Adetokunbo Abiru, FCA
