“We must support them and offer them a better tomorrow,” said Mrs. Buhari
Mrs. Buhari also stated that each of the board members was carefully selected due to their contributions to the society and their acceptance has indicated not just their commitment to develop the college into an enviable position, but demonstrated their readiness to continue serving humanity.
In his acceptance speech, Chairman of the Board of the College, former Governor of Borno State, His Excellency, Senator Kashim Shettima, said it was an honour to serve in the Board of the Future Assured College due to the humanitarian spirit behind its establishment. He commended the First Lady for the laudable projects and programmes she initiated through the Future Assured Initiative and said she walks her talk.
