Expressing his gratitude to President Bola Tinubu for his support, Abiru underscored the importance of early childhood education. “The quality of education at this stage significantly influences children’s academic success and social skills. By creating a nurturing environment here at Wright Memorial, we are giving our children the best possible start in life,” he said.
