He said this at the 47th convocation ceremony of Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU) in Ile-Ife.
Addressing the gathering on Saturday, Tinubu, represented by Yusuf Sununu, the Minister of State for Education, assured the audience of the government’s commitment to revitalizing education.

“Our graduates and the University system have the potential to make a significant contribution in addressing these challenges and creating a better future for all,” Tinubu stated.
He emphasized his commitment to rejuvenating the Nigerian economy and safeguarding the well-being of citizens and their assets.
Tinubu called on the populace to unite in support of his administration, encouraging collective efforts to propel the nation to unprecedented achievements.
