Ibrahim Garba Maryam shared these photos of dilapidated school classrooms in Kano State. See what he wrote after the cut...
This is how thousands of classrooms look like in Kano state but he is still building bridges that has more commission rather than humanity. Building new classes is not the matter what matters fix the old schools and give more priority to social auditing and biogenic need. Just imagine he is demolishing schools in ungogo local gvt to expand roads . What is the secrets in bridge building and motor parks while women a dying at child birth, unqualified teachers, insufficient female teachers poor infrastructure, poor health facilities, poor road networks, public school moving in reverse gear and private schools encouraging sodomy . We are waiting to see gvt respond on Hassan Gwarzo sodomy committee reports you can deny the media to cover up the case but we are wise to tell the parents. Unpunished Hassan Gwarzo is an encouragement and support of gay rights indirectly. Pls minister come down to Kano and secretly visits our schools in rural areas in Kano. Where is the transparency in good governanance"

Director-General of the National Youth Service Corps, NYSC, Brigadier-General Johnson Olawumi, weekend, Abuja, appealed to corporate bodies not to reject corps members posted to them for the one year mandatory service.
NYSC DG said instead of rejecting those posted to their companies, they should create avenue for the corps members to add value to their organizations, while developing their professional skills.

Olawumi, who spoke at the swearing-in ceremony of stream two of the NYSC Batch ‘B’ 2015, at the Kubwa Orientation Camp in Abuja, noted that each corps member would be equipped with entrepreneurship skill for self reliance during their stay in camp.

“For the private sector, we can only continue to appeal to them that they should take advantage of the potentials in these young men and women, their companies are going to be better for it,” he said.

The DG noted that the federal government had issued a circular for its Ministries, Departments and Agencies, MDAs, not to reject any corps member posted to their places, but taking the advantage of their potentials to add value to service delivery.

“I am not aware of any MDA that rejects any corps member, and if we get any we shall make appropriate reportage to the necessary authority, but there is a circular to the effect that no MDA should reject any corps members,” he clarified.

In his remarks, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Malam Muhammad Bello, represented by a director , Ahmed Musa, called on the 2,609 corps members currently in camp to pay serious attention to various vocational trainings to be given to them by experts.
