The Speaker, Nasarawa State House of Assembly, Alhaji Ibrahim Abdullahi, has urged owners of private schools in the state to provide quality education to pupils and students to enhance development.
The speaker made the call while playing host to the Association of Private School Owners of Nigeria (APSON) Nasarawa State Chapter on Thursday in Lafia.

The speaker informed the association that the assembly would propose a bill to regulate establishment and operation of private schools in the state.
” I want to appreciate you for the visit and for complementing state government efforts in the education sector.
” I want to also assure you of our support at all times as education is the bedrock for the development of any society, ” he said
The speaker also assured of the assembly’s readiness to work closely with Gov. Abdullahi Sule to create an enabling environment for teaching and learning.
“We are working in synergy with Gov. Abdullahi Sule to continue to provide quality education in the state.
” Gov. Abdullahi Sule has the concern, care and love for the education sector and the people of the state, ” he said.
He said the house is committed to make laws and passed resolutions that have direct bearing on the education sector in the state.
