Polish Ambassador to Nigeria, Ambassador Joanna Tarnawska, has said that education is one of the fundamental tools every child needs in order to develop and contribute to community, society and nation in general.
Ambassador Tarnawska stated this during her speech at the commissioning and handing over of a block of three classrooms, one staff room, toilet facility and borehole for Almajiri in Kanfanin Zango community in Igabi Local Government Area of Kaduna State.
