AN OPEN LETTER TO KEBBI STATE GOVERNOR

Your Excellency,
Sen. Alhaji Abubakar Atiku Bagudu,
Government House,
Birnin Kebbi, Nigeria.

"All of you are shepherds and all of you will be queried about all your subjects"~Prophet Muhammad

It is with great concern that I write this letter to you, I am not sure it will reach you but my believe in the power of 'share button' made me zealous to pick my writing materials. If however it reaches you, please note that I desire nothing personal but an effective change in the basic educational sector in Kebbi state.

I quoted Prophet Muhammad not because I doubt your knowledge of Islam but to remind you that, you will be asked before Allah about all the people of Kebbi.

Just like every concerned indigene, I expressed my deepest sympathy and great empathy with all Kebbi students who failed WAEC, NECO and other exams in the years; 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018.

Over the years, apparent unabated failure and poor performance of Kebbi students were recorded in these examinations due to several challenges facing teachers and students and thereby affects the teaching and learning system entirely.

It is no worth saying that, while other states have performed progressively in these years, Kebbi has comfortably sat at the rear list of poor performing states, most especially in WAEC. For instance, Cross River State has risen from 29th to 2nd in NECO, Taraba state from 21st to 8th and Abia and Anambara always revolving the 1st position whilst Kebbi comfortably maintained 32nd position for years.

We have seen your commitments in the fields of Agriculture, Health and Electricity. However, basic educational reformation must be carried out to save the future of Kebbi state.

It is a wide believe amongst humans that, he who needs good have to give out the best for you get what you gives out. To save the future of the state, late payment of primary school teachers must stop, they should undergo capacity developing workshops either annually or biennially, leaf grants must be fully paid, teachers should be well motivated and their welfare should be improved and all retirees should be settled. Your excellency, I wish to inform you that, alot of schools have no staff quarters and even those with quarters need complete rehabilitation.

Your excellency! You cannot put a crown on a clown and expect a king, proper teachers audit should be carried out to ascertain the quality and qualification of all the teaching staff in the state, those who needs to further their education should be released and those who lack teaching requisite should be transferred to other sectors.

Your excellency, whilst I commend your government for beautifying measure streets withing the state capital with lights, I wish to bluntly inform you that most schools in the state lack infrastructures, alot of secondary schools in rural areas have no Science Laboratories while most schools in towns lack laboratory apparatuses. What you read you may forget but what you practice lasts forever. Secondary education needs to be taken from 'read and pass' stage to the 'read and practice' stage. Our technical schools need total revolution.

Your excellency, days have gone when teaching is a pride in the state, teachers were no more celebrated and given things for free even in local environments. Nowadays, primary school teachers feel shy to address themselves as nation builders in public gatherings, we must build that confidence into our teachers to get the desired result.

For every administration that wants to leave any legacy, education is the best for it gives the children of the poor just like you the chance to rise above their birth condition.

Your excellency, with less than a year to the end of your first tenure as governor of Kebbi state, the good people of this state that brought you in office still expect progressive change. There are schools in the state, what they need is teachers and teaching materials.

Lastly and most importantly, while I pray for your success and Allah's guidance, I wish to advise you to set aside all campaign and political locomotion, attend to this most important matter, pay WAEC and NECO fees to save students from losing admissions into tertiary institutions and I assure you that these students, teachers, families and friends will be the vanguards of your campaign rallies.

Yours In Struggle For Better Kebbi,
Habibu Usman Bawa

AUTHORITATIVELY, NO NATION CAN SURVIVE WITH THE LEVEL OF INDECENCY AND CORRUPTION BEFORE THE ARRIVAL PRESIDENT MUHAMMADU BUHARI AND THEREFORE SHOULD BE SEEN AS A MESSIAH.

18th July 2018.

By: Comr. Kabiru Samaila Warra

As a Nigerian, I unconditionally support the above assertion not only because I'm a pro Buharist but also because I'm a well meaning Nigerian, and so deemed it necessary to be just to whomever deserves it least.
The Prime Minister of UK sometime around 2016 in a submit said "had it been it was United Kingdom that is ruptured with the level Nigerian corruption for the last sixteen years of PDP governance, UK would have cease to exist on the surface of earth".
Also our former finance minister, Mrs Okonjo Iwaela once said "any body who will govern Nigeria after 2015 would not find it easy to govern this country and would face a serious economic challenges".
*hasn't our anti corruption champion been vindicated enough?*
However, I will also like to buttress my previous paragraphs with few points:

1. For the past 16years of PDP governance, a lot of monies were squandered through ghost projects, and workers; whilst millions of people are directly affected by such mischievous acts by the then leaders, they seem to behave like no blood do run in their veins, they are so callous and heartless, turning back to the masses that entrusted their future in their hands and voted them in, knowingly, knew that those affected by the laundering and squandering of public funds through ghosts (as used in this content) are these helpless masses.

2. If they truly meant well, and they are on cause of revamping this country why can't they just give the due support to this administration?
Which seem to be doing far better than it's predecessor.

3. Why are they sabotaging the efforts of our Hero? They are almost in every nook and cranny of our beloved country, starting from the National Assemblies to the wards; a typical example of such, a rep or senator, governor, commissioner, minister, LG chairman or Hon councillor, anybody who seem to see nothing good about the projects, meaningful policies, and above all fighting against corruption that have a positive impact on the lives of a common Nigerian, such person ought to answer these question(s): upon all the sixteen years of governance of PDP, why is it that it is BUHARI that has shown more commitments and concern on revamping our country from a state of decay, diversifying our economy to a more reliable facets (unlike the limited excess crude oil)?

4. Why is it that regardless of knowing its corruption that is eating up all the treasures of our land, no administration has shown more commitments towards wiping it out of our land regardless of the fact that the establishment of EFCC was before him, PMB?

Lastly, my call on every Nigerian, young or old, rich or poor, literate or illiterate, we shouldn't be deceived again and fall victim of their ploy/gimmick, a Chinese proverb says "fool me once, you are a fool and fool me more than once I'm a fool" these guys ganging up against our country's messiah in order to have access again to the treasury of this country let them know that we are wise now.

•••No more money for voting, cos no amount of money can buy us for the next four years.

•••No more supporting desperados, as we all should endeavour to necessitate supporting the righteous.

•••No more supporting ineffectuality or ineffective governance.

•••We on a course, and thus like a moving train, unstoppable.


Good day fellow compatriots.
God bless Nigeria ������

BEING THE COMMUNIQUE ISSUED AT THE END OF NAPS SENATE PRINCIPAL OFFICERS CLOSE DOOR MEETING HELD AT SENATE SECRETARIAT KADUNA POLYTECHNIC MAIN CAMPUS, TUDUN-WADA KADUNA ON 22ND JUNE, 2018.

The meeting equally appraised the popularity, manifestos, competency cum integrity and veracity of contestants from Polytechnic angle (NAPS FAMILY) running for various offices with key interest in *NANS PRESIDENCY* owing to the fact that NAPS family has never been opportuned to produce NANS President since over 38 years of existence of National Association of Nigeria Students NANS even with the proving record of active participation and sustainace of core value of student struggle in Polytechnic sector. (Autonomous Student Union with independent Goverment known as SUG are only obtainable in Polytechnic, monotechnic and colleges of Education and Technology deu to resistance ability of her students to uphold the core values and principles of unionism even in the face of intimidation and political victimization)

Considering the large proportion of NAPS senators in the total number of NANS accredited institutions/senators (Total of *253* , University is 2 per state of the federation plus FCT 2x36+1= *73*
253-73= *220*
NAPS family including Colleges of Education having 220 )

The struggle of HND and Bsc Dichotomy Removal and it's implementation, poor funding of Technology, Educational and vacational Institutions at hand which required sincere and committed solidarity support of NANS as mother body of Nigerian students among other burning issue of National Advancement Interest sealed the resolution of NAPS senate to do the doable to ensure our numeric strength is utilise to the fullest so the opportunity of producing *NANS PRESIDENT* this time around from Polytechnic family never sleep off our hand hence resolved thus:

1. The NAPS senate shall file up accredited institutions from NAPS structure in NANS ZONAL order A, B, C, and D and stand firm to monitor and facilitate their accreditation at the convention to ensure none of the Polytechnic, monotechic or colleges of technology are impersonated or denied accreditation, this we solely call on *Zonal Coordinators* of NANS to give NAPS senate maximum cooperation to ensure hitch free accreditation process.

2. NAPS senators whose institutions are among accredited institutions in NANS are strongly advise to fine tune all arrangements to ensure they are in Abuja latest by Friday 6th July, 2018 in order to be readily available for all pre meetings and cancus alliance schedule forthin. Any institution *SUG PRESIDENT* with difficulties in term of transportation to Abuja are to contact senate President for special aide to get to Abuja unfailingly.

The NAPS senate resolved to hold an Emergency Senate Meeting on Saturday 7th July,2018 by 8:00 am in Abuja at a venue to be communicated via text messages to all senators on Friday to fine-tune all gray arears surrounding all polytechnic, monotecnhic and colleges of technology agenda for the convention

The meeting agree to avoid any internal opposition for any offices within the NAPS family particularly on the office of *NANS PRESIDENCY* hence setup 5 Man Committee to be headed by Comr AbdulMajeed Oyeniyi Aluta Jay to commence *PRE HARMONISATION OF INTEREST* ahead of NAPS Emergency Senate Meeting on Saturday where resolutions of the committee shall be announced , adoption and candidate by NAPS family be declared .

The meeting implore NAPS senators to troop out on their numbers for the convention as the time to clinch NANS Presidency for the first time is now or never while imploring her counterpart from University to give the Polytechnic family the solidarity to clinch NANS President seat for the first time since it has always be a solidarity from polites to university in the time past. 'LET OUR USUAL GOOD GESTURE BE RECIPROCATED FOR ONCE' .

Collective Hand Rescue The Mission, loyalty tobtgis course by all NAPS senators and stakeholders is a solidarity to defend our HND certificate at hand or in view as continuous threat to our qualifications needs to end in this regime. With NANS PRESIDENCY WITHIN NAPS FAMILY our dichotomy implementation struggle is a goal.

After evading operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, for over one month, former governor of Kebbi State, Usman Saidu Dakingari was today, June 20th, 2018 served with the fifteen count charge by the bailiff of the Federal High Court Kebbi at around 1:51pm in the defendant's residence at GRA Birnin Kebbi.

The fifteen charge was served on the defendant through one of his household, Mohammed Danladi, who collected the charge and the Court Order issued by the court granting the complainant leave to serve Dakingari alongside the 2nd and 3rd defendants.
Dakingari was supposed to be arraigned today, June 20th, 2018 before the Federal High Court Kebbi alongside three others: Sunday Dogonyaro, Abdullahi Yelwa and Garba Rabiu Kamba for allegedly receiving cash sum N700,000,000 (Seven Hundred Million Naira) only from the former Minister of Petroleum Resources, Diezani Allison Madueke.

The arraignment was however stalled because the 1st, 2nd and 3rd defendants evade service and refuse to honour invitation by the commission.

Consequently, the prosecution was only able to produce the fourth defendant, Garba Rabiu Kamba before the court. However, Johnson Ojogbane applied for an order of court pursuant to section 382(5) of ACJA to grant the prosecution leave to serve the defendants through either their counsels, sureties, am adult member of their household or on their last known address.

The application was granted as prayed and the matter was subsequently adjourned to 25th June, 2018 for arraignment.

This is FEDPONAM The Federal Polytechnic Kaura Namoda, Zamfara State.

On behalf of my fellow colleague, I write to bring to the notice of the general public that our school has been suffering from water shortage for the past few weeks.

Water supply has been extremely poor on day to day basis making our lives miserable. Quite often, water supply is so scanty that it is not sufficient for day to day use such as cooking, drinking, washing etc.

Sometimes water is supplied for only half an hour and sometimes we have to wait the whole day for water. But it is very poor dribble that we get from the tap. As it is widely said "Water is life" I can say very clear that we've been deprive life to live.

Please help! Enough is enough.... We can not bear this any longer.
