Lagos APC lauds Tinubu over free technical education policy
The Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has hailed President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for declaring free technical education nationwide, describing the move as bold and people-oriented.
In a statement issued on Monday, the party’s spokesperson, Seye Oladejo, said the policy reflects the administration’s determination to empower Nigerians with practical skills, expand opportunities and secure a brighter future for generations to come.
Oladejo noted that by removing financial barriers to technical education, the President had opened the door for millions of young Nigerians to acquire relevant skills in technology, innovation and vocational expertise – skills needed to drive industrial growth, self-reliance and economic resilience.
He added that under the initiative, each student would also receive a monthly stipend of ₦22,500 to ensure that financial hardship does not prevent them from learning, saying “This is a practical intervention that will not only encourage enrolment but also sustain focus and commitment to studies”.
“With this landmark policy, the President has not only responded to the aspirations of Nigerian youths but has also laid a solid foundation for sustainable growth, massive job creation and poverty reduction,” the statement read.
The party further stressed that the initiative aligns seamlessly with President Tinubu’s longstanding commitment to education, capacity building and human capital development, recalling his introduction of free education and heavy investment in schools as Governor of Lagos State.
Oladejo added: “While the opposition indulges in empty rhetoric, President Tinubu continues to deliver tangible, transformative policies that directly impact the lives of Nigerians. History will remember not their noise but his achievements.”
Lagos APC assured the President of its unflinching support as he continues to reset Nigeria on the path of progress, stating “With free technical education nationwide and a ₦22,500 monthly stipend for every student, a new chapter has begun – one where skills, not limitations, will define the destiny of our youth”.
