Senator Shuaib Afolabi Salisu, Chairman of the Senate Committee on ICT and Cybersecurity, has urged students to embrace education and courage, describing education as the only passport to development and meaningful participation in society. Salisu, who represents Ogun Central, frowned at the growing notion among some youths that "education is a scam," stressing that education has produced great men and women in society, particularly in Ogun State. He said his passion for education was shaped by the counsel of his parents 46 years ago, adding that shortly after his mother's death, he realised that education was the only way to become a meaningful part of society. The lawmaker spoke at the annual SAS Omoyayi Educational Support Programme held at the June 12 Cultural Centre, Kuto, Abeokuta, with the theme, "Investing in Education, Empowering Tomorrow's Leaders."
