By: Yahaya Wakili

The National Association of Proprietors of Private Schools (NAPPS) Potiskum local government chapter, Yobe State, has elected its executives to run the affairs of the association for four years.

Mallam Mohammed Sambo Adam, proprietor of Women’s Day Academy, emerged as the new chairman of the association with a total of 54 votes, while the other positions were elected unopposed.

Speaking to journalists shortly after the election, the new chairman, Mallam Mohammed Sambo Adam, said today is the most amazing day of his life because over 104 proprietors came out massively to cast their votes for him.

He called on the contestants for the chairmanship and let them come together to promote the association. Whenever the need arises, we are going to unite the both of them so that we can bring development to this great association. This association potiskum chapter will be an example for the national level, by the grace of Almighty Allah.

“My priority is to reshape the gap between the executive and the members of this great association, because there is some gap, so we wanted to fill that gap.” he added.

“We wanted to join hands with the Yobe state ministry of education to bring development to private schools, particularly in Potiskum local government. There is something that comes from government.

“His Excellency Governor Mai Mala Buni has declared a state of emergency on education here in Yobe State; therefore, we are going to join hands with the Yobe State government in order to see that we have achieved the aim of promoting education across the state,” Adam said.

He used this opportunity to call on non-governmental organizations, particularly UNICEF, for those involved in education. We need intervention because some of our private schools need it. A proprietor can start establishing a private school; he needs intervention for infrastructure, classrooms, tables, and others.

Mallam Mohammed Sambo Adam also called on other non-governmental organizations in Yobe State and the whole of Nigeria to let them come to Potiskum, because it is only Potiskum that has the highest number of private schools in the state.

At least seven persons were killed and three others abducted when armed bandits attacked Kyara village, a remote border community in Sabon Birni Local Government Area of Sokoto State, in the early hours of Thursday.

Sources said the attack occurred at about 4:00 a.m. in the village, which lies close to the Niger Republic border and has no mobile phone network coverage.

The bandits, who were said to be in large numbers and armed with sophisticated weapons, stormed the community, shooting sporadically and causing panic among residents.

During the attack, seven persons were shot dead, while two others sustained gunshot injuries. Three villagers were also kidnapped, and an unspecified number of domestic animals were rustled.

Joint security forces were immediately deployed to the area after the incident was reported. On arrival, they evacuated the corpses and the injured victims to a hospital for autopsy and medical treatment.

Troops have since launched a manhunt for the attackers with a view to rescuing the abducted victims, recovering the rustled livestock and arresting those responsible.

Confidence-building patrols are currently ongoing in and around Kyara village to reassure residents and prevent further attacks.
