Wife of President Muhammadu Buhari, Aisha has charged Northern women to go back to school and acquire western education to better their lot in compliance with growing global trends.
She gave the charge at the closing ceremony of a 1,000 graduates of skills acquisition programme funded by her pet project, the Future Assured, a non-governmental outfit, at the Multipurpose Indoor Sports Hall in Bauchi.
She said: “any woman that is not educated will lose a lot of opportunities in the modern world. If you cannot read, many opportunities will pass you by”.
Citing herself as an example, Mrs Buhari who was accompanied by wives of Adamawa and Nasarawa states’ governors and top government officials, announced that before marrying President Buhari, she had her secondary school education and went to the university after marriage, not knowing that she would be the wife of Nigeria’s President one day.
