The President of the 9th Senate, Senator Ahmad Ibrahim Lawan, Ph.D., GCON, Sardaunan Bade, Yobe North Senatorial District, has extended his heartfelt congratulations to Dr. Idris Muhammad Sani on his recent appointment as the Executive Secretary of the National Commission for Almajiri and Out-of-School Children Education by His Excellency, President Bola Tinubu, GCFR.
“Dr. Sani’s appointment, which is well-deserved, testifies to his exceptional qualifications, experience, and commitment to the well-being of Nigerian children,” he said.
Senator Ahmad Lawan, however, lamented that “his proven leadership abilities and track record in the field of education make him an ideal candidate for this crucial role.
He revealed that out-of-school children face numerous challenges that hinder their access to quality education and opportunities. Without a doubt, Dr. Sani’s appointment as the Executive Secretary of the commission is a significant step towards addressing these challenges and ensuring that every child in Nigeria has the chance to fulfill their potential.
I am confident that under his guidance, the National Commission for Almajiri and Out-of-School Children Education will implement policies and programs of the President Bola Tinubu-led administration aimed at. Identifying and enrolling out-of-school children, providing alternative education pathways, and advocating for the rights of vulnerable children.
He pointed out that Dr. Sani’s efforts will undoubtedly improve the lives of countless children who have been deprived of the opportunity to learn and grow.
Therefore, I extend my best wishes for his success in his challenging but rewarding role. Once again, congratulations to him on his well-deserved appointment.

By; Zagazola Makama
The Police Command in Kano State has repelled an attack on its personnel during an operation to arrest a suspected bandit leader in Bichi Local Government Area.
Security sources told Zagazola Makama that the incident occurred at about 6:30 p.m. on March 22, following a distress call from Tudun Wulli Outpost.
According to the sources, a team of the Anti-Kidnapping Squad, led by ASP Abubakar Musa, acted on credible intelligence and trailed a suspected bandit leader identified as Muhammad, also known as “Senator” or “Kirchi,” who had reportedly visited Tudun Wulli village for Sallah celebrations.
“The suspect was sighted in possession of an AK-47 rifle, but upon attempt to apprehend him, he fled into a crowd,” the source said.
The situation escalated when a mob allegedly attacked the police team with stones and other dangerous weapons, injuring ASP Lawali Hamidu and damaging the windscreen of a patrol vehicle.
“In the process of tactical withdrawal, four persons sustained gunshot injuries and were rushed to General Hospital, Bichi, for treatment,” the source added.
One of the victims, identified as Halima Saidu, was later confirmed dead by a medical doctor, while the others are responding to treatment.
The police personnel involved in the operation were safely evacuated, and additional security deployments have been made to the area to forestall further breakdown of law and order.
The command said the situation has been brought under control, adding that investigations are ongoing, while efforts are being intensified to apprehend the fleeing suspect.
