Further investigation reveals that, at the beginning of every academic year, with new primary one intakes, JSS one intakes and an influx of new pupils on transfers from neighboring states and private schools, the board will sometimes be faced with overstretched facilities owing to the status of FCT as the nation's administrative capital.

"On our path, we will do our all to ensure this assignment is achieved by mobilising millions of our followers across Nigeria to vote for Asiwaju in the 2023 Presidential Elections." Recall in March 2021, the full compliment of the Super Eagles legends along side the complete team of the Atlanta 1996 Olympic Gold medal winning team was hosted by governor Bello to a reception marking the 25th Anniversary of the Olympic Gold where Nigeria conquered the Global football world beating Brazil, Argentina and other countries to be the first African Nation to win the Olympics Gold.

Governor Yahaya Bello in a swift reaction assured them he will take the matter up to President Buhari. Today, the Houses have been presented to all the legends following Governor Bello's intervention. This and many more have endeared the legends of the Super Eagles to throw their weights behind the governor, promising their supports for him on the new assignment. Governor Bello who is popularly referred to as the Champion of Nigerian Youths is loved by the entire Nigerian youths and has continually enjoyed maximum support from the youths, women, and people with disabilities etc. His appointment by the Presidential campaign council is believed to be a strategic move and will boost the APC to victory in 2023, as 90% of the votes will come from this strategic move. The Super Eagles Legends enjoy tremendous support from millions of Nigerians both old and young as they have remained the biggest unifying factor in Nigeria & world history owing to the fact that they have won glorious laurels and brought happiness to almost all Nigeria homes via Football entertainment and quality display of Soccer artistry. Football has remained the biggest platform to enhance unity in diversity across the globe and the Super Eagles Legends have brought smiles and joy to all Nigerian homes. Governor Bello who is the Legends Ambassador has been a bridge builder between the North and South, the old and young, including men and women, the Government and the people. Congratulations Governor Yahaya Bello.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vsrw2PqC-RI Alhaji Yahaya Bello, the governor of Kogi State, has issued a grave warning to any bandits who may be planning to cause mayhem in the state. While inspecting a project last week in the state's Okehi local government, Governor Bello, who is known for having zero tolerance for insecurity and is one of the top governors in the fight against terrorism, issued the strong warning to intended criminals. Bello, who addressed the crowd in his own tongue, stressed that his administration will not tolerate misconduct or criminal activity going forward and that any effort to undermine the state's current state of peace would be met with resistance. Mischievous media outlets and tweeps have mostly misinterpreted and mocked the governor's statement. Since the state's founding more than three decades ago, Bello's administration is credited as being the best. The new direction government has received praise for its efforts to address insecurity, build a sizable infrastructure, inclusion of women and young people in governance, and improve education system in the state.

| Politics › Never Again, We Supported APC For Youth Presidency; Youths Reply Yahaya Bello by Jonah2022(op): 8:56pm On Jun 13, 2022 |
Following the visit of the All Progressive Congress flagbearer, Bola Tinubu, to the governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello, after the party's primary election, and the governor's decision to support Tinubu in the spirit of sportsmanship by handing over his campaign office to the party candidate, youths from various quarters have warned that they would not work for the APC and that they only supported the party because the governor and then presidential aspirant was one of them. The youths' stance, as evidenced by their reactions on various social media platforms, is seen as a major threat to the APC's victory in the 2023 election, as they constitute the country's largest voting population. In their various comments, they stated that they worked for the party because of Governor Bello who was in charge of registration and revalidation exercise of the party that featured registration of millions of Nigerian youths. "We are naturally nonpartisan and would prefer to support another candidate rather than the APC. According to them, the APC government has kept youths out of leadership positions and knocked them off the presidential contest, and that young people are ready to take back the country and start over. This is also evident by the huge youth drive the Peter Obi campaign has witnessed. 2 Likes

As the All Progressive Congress (APC) continues its internal wrangling ahead of the 2023 presidential election with its proposed national convention in a matter of days away, some party stakeholders have decided to speak on the power, ambition, and schemes behind the recent doctoring of the ruling party's leadership but on the ground of anonymity.https://thetrumpetng.com/el-rufai-the-self-appointed-spokesman-could-sell-the-north-and-apc-for-his-vp-ambition/ 3 Likes 1 Share
