The newly appointed Chairman of the Governing Board of Universal Basic Education Commission (UBEC), Tanko Al-Makura, has promised to leave a lasting legacy in the commission.
A statement issued on Sunday by UBEC’s Public Relations Officer, David Apeh, said Al-Makura, a former Governor of Nasarawa State, made the promise when he officially assumed duty at the Commission in Abuja.
The UBEC chairman, who is a trained teacher, pledged to support the commission in revamping basic education in Nigeria, expressing his commitment to transforming basic education in the country.
Recalling his experience as a Governor and Senator, where he supported State Universal Basic Education (SUBEB) and was a member of the UBEC committee, he also commended the Executive Secretary of UBEC, Aisha Garba, for her efforts since assuming office and pledged to provide necessary support for her success.
On her part, Garba also expressed her happiness in working with Al-Makura, describing him as a mentor and an educationist.
