President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday in Akure said universities in the country are pivotal in boosting national development.

Buhari spoke during the combined 29th and 30th convocation of the Federal University of Technology Akure (FUTA) in which 5,402 diploma and degree students and 1,238 Postgraduate diploma, Masters and Doctorate students graduated.

Represented by Mr Abiodun Sanni, the Director of Administration of the National Universities Commission, Buhari said his administration would ensure improved access and quality of the educational system.

He also said efforts would continue toward ensuring improved infrastructural development and increased funding of universities.

“In this age of ICT, we believe that our Universities of Technologies are pivotal to the actualisation of national development agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations,’’ he said.

The president further implored all FUTA staff to always perform their duties with dedication and selflessness.

Buhari also congratulated the graduating students, saying they had been sufficiently equipped with the knowledge required to meet the challenges of contributing to the socio-economic and political environment of the nation.

“With the quality of specialised and rigorous training received, there is no doubt that you already have what it takes to surmount any obstacle on your path to a life of fulfilment and great achievement,” he said.

He also appealed to Nigerians to eschew violence as the country prepared for the forthcoming 2019 general elections, saying there should be politics of decorum and ideas as against hate and violence.

“We must not light the fire of religious bigotry and ethnicity which will be difficult to put out after elections have been won and lost.

“Peace and peaceful coexistence are very essential for individual and national progress, and we must all work to attain peace in our nation,” he said.
