“Investing in education is investing in our collective tomorrow,” Dr. Moses Paul
The Chairmanship Candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) for the Abuja Municipal Area Council (AMAC), Dr. Moses Paul, PhD (Dr. Mo), has reiterated the importance of investing in education as a foundation for national development. He made this known on Monday during the commissioning of a newly established laboratory at LEKCED International School, Jikwoyi, Abuja.
Dr. Paul, who accompanied former Anambra State Governor and Labour Party presidential candidate in the 2023 elections, Mr. Peter Obi, praised the initiative as a significant step toward strengthening the educational capacity of schools within the council. He noted that each engagement with Mr. Obi reinforces the belief that purposeful leadership is measured by its direct impact on people and communities.
At the event, Mr. Obi restated his long-standing message that national productivity and security are tied to the education and empowerment of young people. He emphasized that no child should be deprived of quality learning opportunities because of their location, stressing that children in Jikwoyi and across Nigeria deserve access to globally competitive education.
As part of his support to the institution, Mr. Obi announced a donation of ₦2 million to facilitate the purchase of chemicals, reagents, and essential laboratory materials. He also pledged to provide an internet-enabled projector to enhance digital learning within the school.
Dr. Paul described the gesture as an example of the deliberate and community-focused investments needed to uplift young learners and strengthen educational systems. He added that such interventions align with global best practices and reflect a commitment to preparing Nigerian youths for future opportunities.
“Investing in education is investing in our collective tomorrow,” Dr. Paul stated, expressing optimism that with sustained commitment, a better AMAC and a better Nigeria are within reach.
