The first female president of Mauritius Republic, Ameenah Gurib-Fakim, has advised Nigeria and Africa to prioritise education as key to transforming the continent.
She advised while speaking on Thursday in Lagos State, as Nigeria marks its Democracy Day anniversary on June 12.
According to her, although the challenges of education in Africa abound, the continent should harness its advantages to shore up educational quality.
My dear brothers and sisters in Nigeria, happy Democracy Day from Mauritius to Nigeria.
After listening to our convener this morning, I am also of the opinion that education remains the biggest transformation that this continent needs. I am very pleased to speak on how sound education can transform our continent. (Channels)
