"The future is not for those that read English language or History, but sciences"- Buhari

 

The President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), on Friday evening met with the freed pupils in Katsina, urging them to put the experience behind them and focus on their studies.

Buhari said, “You’re lucky. Your school focuses on the sciences, and sciences are part of modernisation, which allows you to secure good jobs.

“The future is not for those that read English language or History, but for those that read the sciences. I hope you will forget what happened to you and focus on your education instead.”

The President noted that he was once in a boarding school like them and pointed out that education got him to the position he currently occupies.

He told them that some of his relations who didn’t acquire formal education were already paying the price for it as their animals and land had become less productive unlike before.

He, however, called on security agencies to weed out bad eggs in the society, and to remember they would give account of their actions to God.
