In line with his New Niger Agenda, Niger State Governor Mohammed Umaru Bago has announced that the state government will sponsor 1,000 students to study science related courses in India to transform the state technologically.

Bago disclosed this in Bida during a dinner organised in his honour by the Niger South Stakeholders Forum at the weekend in Bida.

The governor said the world is evolving in terms of technology and Niger State needs to be in tune and not be left behind, acknowledging the great potential.


He advised people of the state to make optimal use of the potential for their good and that of the state.


He disclosed that the state government would not be intimidated by anyone in its quest to improve infrastructure, pointing out that Bida would be developed, and called for support and cooperation.

How Nigeria’s Poor Education Infrastructures Increase the Rate of Out-of-School Children
Abubakar Abdulrasheed and Peter Emmanuel, September 29, 2023

In Niger State, the lack of access to quality education and the regular invasion of communities by rampaging bandits in recent years has forced many children out of school.

Niger State contributes over 700,000 children to Nigeria’s 20 million out-of-school children. The data is based on children aged six to 18 years from primary one to senior secondary school three.

Kodo Primary School, also in the Bosso LGA, was once a citadel of high-quality learning, but the dilapidated classrooms forced many parents to withdraw their children from the school.

Its primary three and six nursery sections had ceased because their structures had collapsed. Only primary four and 5 were functional and merged into a single classroom.

While the school has never been renovated since its establishment in 1976, the pupils sit on bare floors under leaking roofs and cracked walls and endure learning under the terrible deplorable conditions in their classrooms.

meditator:
No, he's not like Obi that launders state's money in millions into Lagos, he's also not like Obi that stashed money meant for development into his family's businesses, and I'm sure this one would not use the state's money to build brewery so that his people would miserably drink and forget his woeful governance like Obi did. Tell us another story pls
