The Borno State Commissioner for Education has dedicated to Governor Babagana Umara Zulum a commendation he received for the state’s outstanding performance in education programs and policies at the 68th National Council on Education (NCE).
 
The NCE, the highest decision-making body in Nigerian education, held its annual meeting in UBEC Digital Resource Centre Kado, Abuja, on Tuesday, October 10, 2024.
 
The meeting brought together educators from across the country to discuss educational outcomes and policies.
 
During the session, the Minister of Education, Tahir Mamman, commended three state commissioners, including those from Enugu, Borno, and Ebonyi, for their exceptional performance. 
 
As recognition, the states were awarded two additional digital tablets and evidence-based reports.
 
The Borno State Commissioner for Education, Lawan Abba Wakilbe, who was away in southern Borno on official engagement, was represented at the NCE by the Chairman of the State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB), Professor Bulama Kagu. 
 
Upon Wakilbe’s return, the commissioner was presented with the commendation and awards by Professor Kagu on Wednesday at the conference hall of the ministry of education at the Musa Usman Secretariat.
 
Wakilbe dedicated the commendation to the governor of Borno State, professor Babagana Umara Zulum, praising his commitment to strengthening Borno’s education sector and acknowledging the efforts of the ministry’s staff in aligning with the governor’s educational vision.
 
“I attribute all the success to the leadership of His Excellency, Professor Babagana Umara Zulum,” Wakilbe said. “He is the driver; we are the conductors and passengers. With a good driver, we will reach our destination.”
 
This recognition is expected to inspire the Ministry of Education, Science, Technology, and Innovation to further enhance its mandate and set a benchmark for educational excellence in Nigeria.

Hunter kills one, injures two in accidental shooting in Katsina

By: Zagazola Makama

The Police Command in Katsina State says it has arrested a 25-year-old hunter, Bashir Bala, for allegedly shooting three civilians, leading to the death of one person in Malumfashi Local Government Area of the state.

Zagazola gathered that the incident occurred on Thursday at about 4:10 p.m. when Bala, a member of a hunters’ group attached to the security personnel in Malumfashi, visited a known blackspot at Marabar Kankara to purchase cannabis.

According to the report, an argument ensued during which Bala discharged his rifle, striking three civilians.

“One civilian was confirmed dead at the scene while two others sustained gunshot injuries. The injured victims were rushed to the General Hospital for medical attention while the deceased’s body was released to his family after medical certification.

“A joint team comprising Police, the Nigerian Army and vigilantes responded to the scene, and the suspect has been apprehended. Security measures within the area of responsibility have also been reinforced,” the sources said.

Yobe records progress under Governor Buni—Hon. Usman Gimba

By: Yahaya Wakili

Yobe State, under His Excellency Governor, Hon. Dr. Mai Mala Buni CON, COMN, Chiroman Gujba, has recorded measurable progress in various sectors, viz., education, health, agriculture, and other social and economic empowerment initiatives in the state.

This was revealed by the Senior Special Assistant to His Excellency Dr. Mai Mala Buni CON COMN on youth and sports, Hon. Usman Gimba (Sarkin Adon Gubana), at the graduation ceremony of Shettiman Malamai School for Marriage Education in Potiskum.

He said under the governorship of my boss, His Excellency Mai Mala Buni CON, Yobe State is experiencing a giant transformation in the development of infrastructure, human capital, and agriculture.

According to Sarkin Adon Gubana, upon the inauguration of Governor Buni into office, he had set out to create an educated and a well-secured and empowered society with access to the education sector.

At the graduation ceremony, Hon. Gimba said, “What we need in the community is for all of us to be educated, including those who were in the school and those that are in the house, and this school consists of teaching those that are in the house.”

He maintained that the importance of sound and qualitative education to the growth and development of any human society needs not to be emphasized. Adding to that, the school consists of women, but wisely, we also need men; we need the education.

“Because this school is for marriage education only, but we men ourselves need it because we need to be educated on how we can handle our wives when we are married, he charged the students to make good use of what they learned from the school,” Sarkin Adon Gubana said.

The Senior Special Assistant on Youths and Sports thanks the CEO, Malam Abdurazak Abdullahi Usman, for making this gigantic initiative and calls on our leaders—traditional, politicians, and religious—to come out en masse to support the school to move forward.
