In fulfillment of the pledge made earlier this year, the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, has donated N500 million for the renovation of Dukku Community Science Secondary School in Dukku Local Government Area of Gombe State.

CBN governor, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi made the pledged February this year when he visited the palace of the Emir of Dukku, Alhaji Haruna Rasheed II to congratulate him on his turbanning as the Emir of Dukku.

A statement signed and made available to the press by the media officer of Dukku Local Government Council, Kabiru Muhammad, indicates that the CBN letter of renovation of the school was presented to the Emir by Suleiman Kumo Muhammad.

Also appreciating the gesture, chairman of the local government, Alhaji Umar Ladan advised the people to always support and respect their leaders in any aspect of life.

On the Subsidy Reinvestment and Empowerment Programme, SURE – P, projects in his area, the chairman applauded the federal and state governments for giving them the free hand to execute projects which have direct impact on the lives of the people.

He expressed satisfaction over the projects which he said had attained 85 percent completion but urged the various contractors to speed up work in order to complete them in good time.

Among the various projects are rural electrification, health centres, renovation of primary school blocks, staff quarters and drainages.

Alhaji Haruna Rasheed II was a staff of the Central Bank of Nigeria but resigned to sit on the traditional stool.
