In Nigeria Education is known to be the best legacy and we were all taught “children of today are the leaders of tomorrow” but what can make a child of today a leader tomorrow ? Thats nothing but Education.

Education is know as the act of impacting knowledge in people either young old male or female, in some cases there are Education for animals. In this case animals are trained.
