The Emir while accepting the honour, urged the Federal Government to make provision of quality education a priority as that will enable youths to contribute towards the development of the country.
He said: “Education should be given the priority attention, it deserves to empower the youth to enable them to be self-reliant and contribute towards the development of the country.
