Leadership (Abuja)
19 November 2008
In a bid to upgrade, standardise and inculcate computer knowledge to pupils of the municipality, Abuja Municipal Area Council (AMAC) has donated about 10 pieces of computer sets to Nyanya Phase I Primary School.
AMAC chairman, Hon. (Dr.) Zephaniah Bitrus Jisalo, said the motive was to ensure that children in the municipality are being brought up in the knowledge of computers and sciences if they would be the leaders of tomorrow.
Jisalo, who maintained that the world was now in the computer age, noted that it would be unfair for them not to nurture these younger generation by way of charting their course towards that direction.
"Some of us had no such opportunity like these young ones, but now that the table has turned we will encourage them so that they too will walk with their heads high in the midst of their mates in other states and countries," he posited.
Jisalo called on other Area Councils to ensure that they bring up their children in the knowledge of computers as, according to him, children in the FCT were already lagging behind.
He also pleaded with youths of the FCT to embrace education and shun violence if they wished to be leaders of tomorrow.
