Governor Eno made the commitment while addressing critical stakeholders in the education sector when he joined teachers and students in the celebration of this year’s Children’s Day at the Uyo Township stadium, yesterday.

 

He talked about the vision of building model schools across the state and the completion of the Dakkada Skills Acquisition Centre (DASAC), designed to produce highly skilled manpower for a technologically-driven society.

 

The state chief executive added that he will continuously equip children with the requisite ICT and entrepreneurial skills that will enable them to perform optimally and compete globally.

 

He further called on parents and guardians to guide their wards away from anti-social behavior and other vices that will hinder their growth and development, while reminding the children of their pride of place in his administration.
