President Muhammadu Buhari has asked state Governors to give priority attention to four critical areas of security, Agriculture, Health and Education in the next four years of the current dispensation.
The President spoke on Thursday at the Aso Rock Villa, Abuja while inaugurating the National Economic Council chaired by vice President Yemi Osinbajo.
President Buhari emphasized the need for the state chief executives to enforce statutory provisions on free and compulsory education, noting that it is a crime for any parent to keep his child out of school.
