The Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Senator George Akume, has called on the people of Benue State to sustain their support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu as he implements the renewed hope agenda.
Akume made the appeal on Friday at Wanune, headquarters of Tarka Local Government Area, where he handed over fully renovated structures of the LGEA Primary School, Wannune — his alma mater — to the Education Secretary of the council, Mr. Aondoakaa Kwaghbo.
The school project, facilitated through the Universal Basic Education Commission (UBEC), includes a fully equipped ICT laboratory aimed at strengthening digital literacy among pupils.
“Today is a very great day to me, and very fulfilling too, as it sparks off some beautiful and well-cherished memories of my life,” Akume said. “My journey to stardom began here many decades ago. The renovation of the entire school structures and a fully equipped ICT Laboratory is part of my little contribution to the growth of my alma mater, and the education of the state generally.”
While presenting the project, Akume urged continued backing for Tinubu’s leadership. “I want to admonish you to continue to support my principal, His Excellency, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, President and Commander-In-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. He has initiated life-changing initiatives that he alone has the drive and capacity to implement for the betterment of all citizens,” he stated.
The SGF also highlighted ongoing federal infrastructure projects nationwide, including the Makurdi–Katsina Ala Road reconstruction, Badagry–Sokoto Highway, Makurdi–Otukpo–Ninth Mile Road, Lagos–Calabar Super Highway, and the Enugu–Onitsha Expressway.
Receiving the school on behalf of the community, Mr. Kwaghbo commended Senator Akume for the gesture, describing education as the bedrock for meaningful development in every society.
