The Fiscal Responsibility Commission (FRC) Chairman, Barrister Victor Muruako has solicited the partnership of the Ministry of Education in creating awareness of the Commission’s initiatives in tertiary institutions.

Barrister Muruako spoke while on courtesy visit to the Minister of State Education, Hon. Chukwuemeka Nwajiuba in his office.

The FRC Boss described the initiative as a situation where there is supposed to be intellectual exercise.

He further narrated that survey of National Youth Service Corp members and selected lecturers showed almost lack of knowledge of the initiative which is obviously not in the curriculum of the tertiary institutions.

In another development, Barrister Muruako said his visit was prompted by his desire openly congratulate the Minister for his Ministry’s successful handling of the twin challenges which confronted the education sector in 2020, that is ASUU strike and COVID 19 pandemic.

He noted that it is clear that if it were not for specially endowed people like him (Nwajiuba) and the Minister of Education, Malam Adamu Adamu, the higher education sector could have crumbled in 2020. He commended the duo for such understanding effort.

Barrister Muruako also applauded him particularly for the good and exemplary working relationship between him and the Minister of Education as well the unparalleled dedication of both of them to the success of President Muhammadu Buhari.

He expressed optimism that the prayers of the countrymen and the deep dedication of people like him will bring the nation and its education sector to sustained success, according to a statement by the FRC Head, Strategic Communications Directorate, Bede Ogueri Anyanwu.

While receiving the delegates from Commission, the Minister for state Education, Hon. Chukwuemeka Nwajiuba expressed his happiness on the work the Commission has been doing.

He requested that the Commission should come up with a template that will enable the two sister Organisations to collaborate for the purpose of creating awareness on Fiscal Responsibility Act, 2007 within the Education sector
