Kaduna is one of the places in the North where education is taken seriously, and the people are making all efforts to be as enlightened educationally as they can.
Unlike one place where am serving as a corper,Agaie, Niger state.
Here, education is never valued, and in most schools in the accursed community, you can hardly find students that are intelligent.
