Gov. Patrick Yakowa of Kaduna State said on Saturday that the recent verification exercise by the state government has revealed no fewer than 2,000 teachers with fake certificates employed in public schools.

Mr. Yakowa disclosed this at the second National Joint Graduation ceremony of the National Teachers’ Institute in Kaduna.

He noted that nearly 50 per cent of the fake teachers lacked the required teaching qualification.

He said that in the effort to improve the education sector, the state government had designed a road map that would assist in achieving the desired change.

“The road map is aimed at addressing teacher quality through capacity building, infrastructural development, increasing access and provision of facilities, new quality assurance system and the development of tertiary institutions owned by the state government.”

He stressed the need to enhance teachers’ education, quality and professional development in order to transform the education sector, adding that such measure would help transform other sectors.

“Teacher quality dictates the success of any educational pursuits and that is why we agree totally with the national policy on education which says: No nation rises above the quality of its teachers.”

According to him, the state government has also enacted a law on quality control in the pursuit of quality teaching that can deliver the required development of children.

“We have not spared any effort in ensuring that our teachers are exposed to best practice through continuous training.

“We have also established benchmarks for literacy and numeracy at the primary school level to ensure that only the best and the most qualified teacher remains in the classroom.”

Mr. Yakowa said the state government had also revised the procedure for the appointment of educational secretaries at the local government level.

He said this would de-politicise the appointment process and ensure that only the most qualified professionals were recruited.

The governor reiterated the commitment of his administration to the ‘Almajiri’ school system being championed by the Federal Government.

“The significance of the establishment of the Almajiri School is to cater for the large number of `Almajiris’ in the state and to prepare them for integration into the larger society.”

He, therefore, called on the people to assist the government to sustain peace, unity and meaningful development in the state.

“We are deeply worried by the spate of security challenges that pervades our society today.

“Kaduna State, and indeed, Nigeria need peace and harmony for purposeful growth and development.

“We are calling on all concerned parties to come forward for dialogue and to stop all forms of bickering and violence. ”

The Kano State government in collaboration with Niger Republic has concluded arrangements to build a mega secondary school in Niamey, Niger Republic as part of the bi-lateral agreement signed by both parties some months ago.

In a statement by the Director of Press to the governor, Halilu Ibrahim Dantiye, under the arrangement, Kano State will build hostels, dining hall and other facilities, while the Nigerien government will construct classrooms and administration block.

The statement added that the state government has already contacted the French government for qualified teaching staff and facilities for the school, while money for the project has been set aside by the state government.

It stated that when completed, the school is expected to accommodate at least 1,000 Nigerien and Kano students, who will study French in an effort to improve multi cultural relations.

Earlier, the head of the Nigerien delegation, Alhaji Muhammadou Saidou, said the visit was to finalize arrangements on the proposed school project, which he said will go a long way in consolidating Nigeria-Niger relations.

Screenshot of Mitt Romney's transitional website, calling him the "President-elect" which was briefly online for a day after he lost to President Barack Obama.

REPUBLICAN presidential nominee Mitt Romney had a "transition" website that apparently went online briefly after Tuesday's election loss.

The Political Wire website published screenshots from what appeared to be "the office of the President-elect" and a photo of the losing candidate against an American flag backdrop.

"I'm excited about our prospects as a nation," said a quote on the site next to Mr Romney's photo. "My priority is putting people back to work."

Under Mr Romney's picture was a slogan: "Smaller, Simpler, Smarter: Believe in America."

The website run by author and former political advisor Taegan Goddard said the site "was quickly taken down but I saved screenshots."

The screenshots were dated Wednesday at 8:40 pm local time or nearly a full day after US President Barack Obama was declared the winner and Mr Romney conceded.

The site invited people to the inauguration in Washington on January 21, and included links to a newsroom and applications for jobs in the Romney administration.

"Please check back here in the coming weeks for more information and details about President-elect Romney's inauguration," the website said.

The screenshots showed three pages, including one with pictures of both Romney and his running mate, Representative Paul Ryan, described as "the vice president-elect."

The Romney campaign did not immediately respond to an AFP inquiry

There are no area boys or ‘omo onile’s’ to settle before shooting your stuff, and for the sexy multi-racial female models? South African women are more liberal and fun loving, most of them love appearing on music videos just for fun. With the popularity Nigerian music now enjoys in South Africa, these ladies sometimes struggle to feature on popular Naija artistes’ music videos.
