The Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has lauded President Bola Ahmed Tinubu over his nationwide declaration of free technical education, describing it as a “visionary and people-oriented policy” that will equip young Nigerians with practical skills and secure the country’s future.
In a statement issued on Monday by its spokesman, Mogaji (Hon.) Seye Oladejo, the Lagos APC said the policy removes financial barriers to technical education and provides every student with a ₦22,500 monthly stipend to support their studies.
“By removing financial barriers to technical education, President Tinubu has opened the door for millions of young Nigerians to acquire relevant skills in technology, innovation, and vocational expertise – skills that will drive industrial growth, self-reliance, and economic resilience,” the statement said.
The party described the stipend as a practical intervention that would not only encourage enrolment but also sustain focus and commitment to studies.
The Lagos APC said the free technical education scheme reflects President Tinubu’s long-standing commitment to human capital development and mirrors the vision he pursued as Lagos State governor, where he introduced free education and invested heavily in schools.
The party also took a swipe at the opposition, saying those who “thrive on falsehood and idle distractions” would be confounded by the president’s achievements.
“History will remember not their noise but his achievements,” the statement read. “With free technical education nationwide and a ₦22,500 monthly stipend for every student, a new chapter has begun – one where skills, not limitations, will define the destiny of our youth.”
The Lagos APC assured President Tinubu of its continued support as his administration rolls out policies aimed at resetting Nigeria on the path of progress.
