A non governmental organization, the Ribadu Media Center (RMC) has extended education support to no fewer than 1,000 students across the 21 local governments of Adamawa State in celebration of Nigeria first lady’s 64th birthday anniversary which coincides with Nigeria’s independence anniversary.
Speaking during the occasion, founder of the organization, Barr. Ahmed Nuhu Ribadu said the gesture was his own little way of supporting education in Adamawa State promising to maintain the tempo.
Ribadu explained that he deemed it important to extend the gesture to the teeming students of Adamawa State because of the critical role education plays in the lives of individuals and the country.
He noted that he performed the gesture with nostalgic feelings as providing education to the less privileged was a legacy bequeathed to the family by his grand father, who championed the acquisition of education especially for the less privileged members of the society.
Ribadu urged the youth not to fritter with the opportunity to acquire education because it is the highest enabler of opportunities adding that our present and past leaders assumed their position on the alter of education.
He promised to continue with the legacy of his grandfather so that the society could benefit from his little intervention.
In his address, the APC organizing secretary in Adamawa, Mustapha Atiku Ribadu applauded the vision of the young Ribadu urging him to maintain the tempo.
He also acknowledged the honour extended to the Nigerian first lady Remi Tinubu which aims to eulogize her giant humanitarian gestures just as he thanked president Bola Ahmed Tinubu for the solid reforms he is championing in the country.
Ribadu urged Nigerians to remain resolutely behind the president as his policies will soon translate into the betterment of life for every Nigerian.
Also speaking, various stakeholders including the APC ALGON, Musa Dabuto, Adamawa APC youth leader, Abubakar Babatsoho and other notable APC chieftains and local party chairmen all applauded Ahmed Nuhu Ribadu for the excellent intervention.
They also urged Nigerians to persevere in the face of the inclement economic conditions they are facing adding that the future promises to be brighter and greater.
