Chief of Staff to President Bola Tinubu, Femi Gbajabiamila, has assured Nigerians that present administration would provide Nigerians with access to world-class governance through education and quality healthcare.

At the NOUN, Gbajabiamila said: “Education and healthcare are the two things that can save a nation. If we can ensure access to quality healthcare for our people and ensure that everybody who desires a good education gets it, this nation will be unbeatable in every sphere.
“These two objectives, ensuring access to world-class education and quality healthcare for all our nation’s people, are at the heart of the Renewed Hope agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration. And I want to reassure all of you here today that we will meet these objectives and exceed them in this administration.”
“This campus of open university will offer undergraduate and postgraduate courses in fields accredited by the National Universities Commission. This building contains lecture rooms, Laboratories, Moot Court, Seminar rooms, offices, and many other facilities.
“I have facilitated the construction of over 250 roads, renovated schools, built hospitals, facilitated Mini Stadia for community sports, provided free Wi-Fi in all public tertiary institutions in Lagos State, and empowered thousands of youth and community members.”
Tajudeen commended Gbajabiamila saying his legislative strides were unmatched.
