From Fred Ezeh, Abuja
Former Chief Justice of Nigeria, Mariam Aloma Muktar, has reaffirmed that good and quality education is the best legacy that parents and guardians can leave for their children, describing it as key to success and relevance in life.
She advised younger generations not to get distracted with lots of things going on around them, particularly in the social and conventional media, but key in to good and quality education opportunities so they could stand tall and compete favourably in the global market.
The ex-CJN, who was special guest at the second Prefects’ investiture of the Brickhall School, Abuja, expressed optimism and hope in the future of Nigeria, reminding the students and school that Nigeria is looking up to them for solutions to its myriad of socio-economic, political, security, and other challenges.
She registered her joy with the electronic mode adopted by the students with the support of the school for the election of its new prefects, suggesting that such credible mode of election is adopted in Nigeria’s electoral system so there would be less rancour and post-election litigations and transparency and accountability promoted.
