Under Sen Atiku Bagudu of Kebbi state,the government played a significant role to make sure that farmers had a bumper harvest during the previous rainy seasons.

Further more, the only college of agriculture in the state under the stewardship of Mal.Mamuda Manga and the head of engineering department Dr Aliyu Muazu were prompted to engage their final year engineering students to the most amusing practical which the result brought about the creation of a locally made tractor.

See below photos of the students practical work

As shared some days ago by Fagbemigun Adewunmi Isreal …

To a mother whose infant was dying at the scene of a motor accident, the angel she must have prayed that God would send to her help her turned out to be Dr. Olusegun Mimiko, the immediate past governor of Ondo State.

An eyewitness, David Aboi who spoke with The Trent’s correspondent in Abuja says that a multi-vehicle accident involving two commercial buses and a Dangote truck occurred along Abuja-Abaji-Lokoja Road near Abuja on Monday evening.

“Many people were seriously injured in the accident which involved a private car, a Cross Country bus, a Peace Mass Transit bus, and a Dangote truck loaded with cement. The Peace bus was trying to slow down at a bridge when the Dangote truck, perhaps due to brake failure, ran straight into the three vehicles,” Aboi recounts.

“The Dangote truck fell into a ditch and many people were injured. One man had his right foot almost decapitated. He was bleeding profusely. It was a terrible sight.”

“The wounded passengers were being dragged out of the vehicles when Mimiko arrived the scene. The former governor was going to Abuja, I believe. It was the first time I have seen a governor in person up-close.”

A crowd had gathered at the scene of the accident at Gegu village before Chikara when former Governor Mimiko arrived. He stopped his car and went through the crowd where he saw an injured mother and her infant child. The child was in a critical state.
According to another eyewitness, (who took the photos showed in this report and pleaded anonymity), Mimiko immediately took the woman and her baby away from the scene of the accident and performed first aid on the child.

“He [Mimiko] told her he was a doctor and he was there to help them,” he said. “It was a very compassionate scene. I had to take a picture, though it was difficult to capture the governor with my phone.”

Mimiko gave the mother of the child some money and told his security detail to take her to the nearest hospital. The child and her mother were taken to Abaji General Hospital, in his Toyota Bus, we confirmed.

After the mother and child left, the governor, who is also a former minister of housing, went back to the other accident victims and performed first aid on a number of them.

“The governor tied the leg of the man whose right foot was broken and almost cut-off,” the source said. “I overheard him lamenting that had this happened in Ondo State, the emergency medical services would have been at the scene in just 12 minutes.”

When contacted, a spokesperson to Dr. Mimiko, who confirmed the incident but said that the former governor does not want to talk about it. “He doesn’t believe in self-glorification,” our reporter was told.

Dr. Mimiko is a medical doctor whose tenure as Ondo governor witnessed a revolution in the public healthcare system especially in the care for mothers and children. His award winning medical programmes, Abiye and Agbebiye, reduced maternal mortality in the state by 75% in 7 years.

ZUBY77:
Since the ministry of Finance failed to tell us the procedures Ekiti state did not meet, could you please tell us?

There is no need blabbing about not meeting procedures..
I read over 6 times up there that "Ekiti did not meet the procedures"
But there is not a single sentence on these procedures Ekiti did not meet.
We want to know exactly What procedures Zamfara, Osun and Ogun States meet that Ekiti did not.

Atleast it will help us condemn Fayose together.
Some of us are not really interested in throwing petrol to burn a man down because someone called him a thief, even when we don't know what he stole. Unfortunately, that's the state of mind of most of you.

The Governor of Borno State, Hon Kashim Shettima gave a house to an internally displaced lactating mother. The house, located at Bolori area of Maiduguri was handed over to her yesterday.

Halima Algoni, the IDP was spotted by the Governor during a special ceremony and presentation of relief materials donated by a Kano based group of Ulamas at the El-Miskin IDPs centre, Maiduguri last month. Halima who was then heavily pregnant and sick, lost her husband and parents to the brutal attack of the insurgents at Bulabulin Ngaura, Damboa Local Government Area. She has been under the guardianship of the Chief Imam of Borno, Imam Zannah Laisu eversince with her baby boy Mohammed Kagu.

Hajiya Fanta Baba Shehu, the Commissioner for Women Affairs and Social Development, handed over the house on behalf of the Governor. While presenting the keys and documents of the house to Halima and her son, the Commissioner said that the house was given to her by the Governor in line with the promise he made to her in order to ease her plight and reduce her trauma.

The former Federal law maker, also in her own gesture, gave Halima four bundles of wrappers, cosmetics, gele, baby food, and a token amount of money. She also directed the Director, Admin of the Women Affairs Ministry, Hajiya Yagana Ali Abatcha to immediately enrol Halima to one of the ongoing women empowerment skill acquisition programmes and loan schemes.

In her own part, Halima Algoni thanked the Governor and all those who helped in realising this day. May Allah give him(Kashim Shettima) the keys to Jannah, She prayed.

Representing the Chief Imam, Hon. Mahmud Kukawa expressed his happiness over the prompt fulfilment of the promise made by the Governor to Halima, and said that had it not been she was presented to the Governor during the ceremony, he wouldn't have seen and help her. He also called on all philanthropists and well to do individuals to give their own support of giving succour to the IDPs and the downtrodden in the state. He also prayed for the total return of peace to the State and Nation at large. Will rescue Nigeria from this God? "governor shettima buys"with his money or what, why not state government buys, this is where our problem comes from, we make these 'he goats' called politicians feels as if government property is their personal property, these generation of nigerians are yhe the worst in history.
