Jonathan Reaffirms Commitment To Education
President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan said yesterday in Abuja that his administration remained fully aware of the importance of education and was therefore doing everything possible to ensure that the nation’s youths were properly trained to contribute more significantly to national development.
Speaking at an audience with the non-resident Ambassador of Macedonia to Nigeria, Mr. Darko Angelov, Jonathan expressed the Federal Government’s appreciation of scholarships offered by the Macedonian Government for the training of some Nigerian youths in Macedonia.
The President said that he was happy to welcome Angelov, who was at the Presidential Villa to present his letters of credence as Macedonia’s first-ever Ambassador to Nigeria, adding that he looked forward to the consolidation and expansion of bilateral cooperation between Nigeria and Macedonia.
He also assured Angelov that the Federal Government would work with him and his government to establish a proper framework for the enhancement of bilateral trade and economic relations.
Angelov told Jonathan that his country was very keen on developing existing relations with Nigeria because of Nigeria’s importance on the African continent.
