President Tinubu has recalled how he worked as a taxi driver and took up different jobs in the United States to finance his university education.
The President shared the experience on X this morning while highlighting the achievements of his administration in the education sector.
His post in part reads: “When I first arrived in the United States as a young man, I drove a taxi to earn money for my education. I even had to postpone starting school for several months to save enough.
When I eventually got to Chicago, I worked different jobs to support myself and pay my way through university. I know what it means to worry about tuition, accommodation and how to make ends meet while pursuing an education.
Those experiences have stayed with me.
I know what education made possible in my own life, and I believe every Nigerian child deserves that same opportunity, regardless of where they are born or what their parents can afford.”
