Mohammed Hayatu-Deen, a former managing director of the now-defunct FSB International Bank and presidential hopeful, says he wants to make life better for Nigerians.

He said this over the weekend during an interaction with delegates of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Kaduna.

Hayatu-Deen had, in March, announced his intention to contest the presidency on the platform of the PDP.

Speaking on his ambition, the former Bank MD also advised delegates against voting with emotions.

“I make a solemn pledge that if I have your votes, I will keep my promise to do everything to work for Nigeria and the Nigerian people,” he said.

On his part, Ahmed Makarfi, former governor of Kaduna, described Hayatu-Deen as one of the party’s leading presidential aspirants who is dedicated to making Nigeria better.

“He is a dedicated and a balanced person who carries Nigeria in his heart and I know he will do well,” Makarfi said.

“In assessing him, his pedigree speaks for itself. I am sure the coordinators will do well for him and Kaduna state. We will do everything for PDP’s success.”

In his remarks, Felix Hyat, Kaduna PDP chairman, said the party members in the state are aware of Hayatu-Deen’s qualifications and why he is fit to contest.

“He is a sound, knowledgeable leader who has achieved a lot. We join our leader, his excellency, senator Ahmed Makarfi, in recognizing your dexterity and success. If you have succeeded in your businesses, you will succeed in leading the country,” Hyat said.

“He that is faithful in little will be faithful in much. We join your supporters and well-wishers to pray that God gives you to us as the leader of our nation.”

In his remarks, former Vice-President Namadi Sambo said he has known Hayatu-Deen since his days at the New Nigeria Development Corporation, adding that the nation would benefit from his diligence and dedication if he gets the opportunity to serve at the highest level.

The newly appointed Minister of Education, Dr. Tunji Alausa, has announced the removal of the 18-year age limit for admission into tertiary institutions in Nigeria.

He also indicated the possibility of a comprehensive review of the nation’s education policy.

However, Alausa made it clear that there would be no reversal of the Federal Government’s decision to invalidate over 22,700 degree certificates acquired by Nigerians from unrecognized universities in neighboring Togo and the Benin Republic.

Speaking at his inaugural ministerial press conference in Abuja on Wednesday, Alausa emphasized that practical education is key to tackling Nigeria’s unemployment crisis. He stated that tertiary institutions must stop producing graduates without ensuring job opportunities for them.

The minister also revealed plans for the federal government to partner with private sector players to provide training opportunities for students and help them realize their full potential.

Additionally, Alausa announced that universities focused on agriculture would be empowered to implement commercial farming practices as part of efforts to address the country’s food security challenges.
