Giving the disclosure Wednesday during her visit to the Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Prof. Viola Onwuliri, in Abuja, Bokova said the office would serve West African countries.
She noted that, "this has been proposed to implement very concrete action in our priority in Africa. So we hope that this will be a very strong office, and we can work closely with Nigeria in the area of education, quality education."
"I think I will put strong emphasis on education – the ambitious programme at 20:20 in order to make education one of the drivers of our programmes and of transformation of the country."
"It's the training of teachers, working on their curricular, aiding new technology, using it in education. And also, I will say linking education with professional likes of young people, it's technical vocational training, giving them the skill to prepare them also for economic activities."
In her response, Onwuliri said the opening of the regional office in Abuja would further help to strengthen the organisation's programmes in the country.
