President Muhammadu Buhari has been commended by the Ekiti State Governor over a decision he took recently that will benefit Nigerian youths.
Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose has commended the President Muhammadu Buhari's Federal Government and the All Progressives Congress (APC) National Leader, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu following the re-introduce of History in school curriculum.
Fayose had earlier in September, directed that History be reintroduced in schools in Ekiti State, noting that; “Ekiti people must learn from past events to have a better future.”
The governor did not waste time to commend FG after the Minister of Education, Malam Adamu Adamu, last Thursday while declaring open, the ministerial session of the 61st National Council on Education (NCE), in Abuja, called for disarticulation of Social Studies and reintroduction of History as a subject in the current Basic Education curriculum.
Just yesterday, Tinubu had openly asked for History to be reintroduced as he said any nation which forgets its past has lost a beacon to guide its actions during at the reviewing of the book, entitled Muhammadu Buhari: The Challenges of Leadership in Nigeria, at the International Conference Centre, Abuja.
While speaking through his Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, Fayose said: “I have consistently maintained that democracy is about those in power listening to the people because the power of the people is greater than the power of those in power and I am glad that on this one, they listened.
“The reality we must all face is that no society can progress without reference to its pasts, and one of the reasons our value system has been so bastardised is that we no longer talk about our past. We no longer tell our children what our past leaders did either wrongly or rightly.”
Speaking further, Governor Fayose said; “When we were growing up, we were made to read about great leaders of our nation like Obafemi Awolowo, Nnamdi Azikiwe, Tafawa Balewa, Ahmadu Bello, Aminu Kano, King Jaja of Opobo and so on. We read what made them great and that shaped our lives.
“When we speak, the impression should not always be that we hate President Mohammadu Buhari and his government. Rather, it should be about how beneficial is what we say to the country.”
