TO ensure a better future for Nigeria, Governor Ifeanyi Okowa has urged teachers to inculcate high moral standards in children for the future of the nation.
Governor Okowa made the call (23/02/17) in Asaba during the commissioning of the Royal Mira All Saints International School.
According to him, "if there is no moral instruction and sound education, we will only end up breeding children with no coordination and morals."
The governor commended proprietors of private schools for complementing government efforts towards providing good education for children.
"I am glad that our private institutions are bridging the gap and are also making strides in the development of education for our children," he said.
Continuing, Governor Okowa said, "a school is not all about the buildings, yes! There can be good buildings, but a school is complete with good buildings, good furniture, equipment, teachers who are competent in their work, who are prepared to offer their best in the tutelage of the students; teachers who must also be morally sound and who will be in a position to give moral instructions to the children in the school."
Earlier in a welcome address, the President of the school, Hon. Moses Iduh said, "the school is to develop the mind and character of our youths to be competitive with their peers internationally, so as to contribute their quota towards ensuring that the Nigerian project succeeds sustainably and to uphold the highest qualitative ethical moral standard."
