Minister of Cities, Local Government and Public Works Adam Shareef Umar has urged graduates to use their knowledge to bring positive change to the nation.

Speaking at Villa College’s 2025 Graduation ceremony on Thursday, he stressed that education must show visible impact, comparing knowledge without action to a fruitless tree.

He called on graduates to reflect on development, the economy, social issues, and health, and to act with intellect and purpose for the well-being of society.
