A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress in Oyo State, Barrister Akeem Agbaje has urged government at all levels to take the education and healthcare of children as top priority.

He gave the admonition in his message to commemorate the Children’s Day.

“It is yet another Children’s Day celebration. While it is a time to celebrate our children, it is also time for us to reflect on how to make conscious effort to improve on things that matter to their development. The theme for this year’s children’s day makes the status of children clear.

“In our parlance, we call them the leaders of tomorrow and the only way we can ensure they are ready when tomorrow comes is by adequately preparing them. The investments we put in our future are the ones we put in our children and I urge governments at all levels to prioritize the issues of education and health for children. We cannot desire a greater future and raise uneducated and unhealthy children.

“I laud the government of His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR for the student loan scheme, it is one initiative that would go a long way in ensuring the younger generation enjoys quality education.”
