The House of Representatives on Tuesday, established its Standing Committee on Basic Education to achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and the Legislative Agenda of the 10th National Assembly.
The committee is led by RT Hon Mark Bako Useni, a member of the Takum/Ussa/Donga Federal Constituency and former Speaker of the Taraba State House of Assembly.
Hon Useni exhorted committee members and the National Assembly Bureaucracy during the first meeting to be devoted and deep in their ideas in achieving the legislative agenda of the Hon Tajudeen Abbas-led House of Representatives.
According to him:
“We have an enormous task ahead of us as committee members. I’m urging us to be very committed, to be deep in our thoughts to make sure that we bring the system out of the woods.
“This we can do by bringing about an adequate legislative framework that will help to save the situation of primary education in Nigeria.
“You are also aware that part of the legislative agenda of the 10th Assembly is to make sure that at the end of the day, basic education achieves a more remarkable feat beyond where we are today.”
“Together, we will put on our thinking caps to make sure that we bring new ideas that will help the situation.”
