“It has been proven that a nation that is educated is the most likely to develop so we don’t want anybody to be left out. Today is the beginning of the rest of your life, take this opportunity to learn hard and dream big,” she said.

“Our president had dreamt big about Free SHS but, Alhamdulillah, he has done it, so if you dream big and set your sight to things that are impossible but you know are good, you can achieve it,” she added.

She further indicated that the policy will lessen the financial burden on parents.

The wife of the Vice president has for some time now been advocating girl child education and education within Muslim communities.
