Yes, very good indicative to salvage our collapsed Primaries. Way forward is all that it needed so that we do not end up creating bigger problems. Problem of out of school children, crime increase and other negative out comes. » 1. Deploy qualified trained teachers capable from Local Government back to classroom. » 2. Introduce 2 years Pivotal course for the not capable teachers to be re trained to teach » 3. Those not capable to be absorbed to local government demoted to appropriate salary grade level. » 4.

Those that are dead among them, may Allah grant them Jannah Firdausi, and those alive, I wish them long life and good health. When Zamfara State was created, none of its indigenes and their well wishers were not happy. Because in this part of the world or in Nigerian set up, development goes with government being at your hands. As soon as Late General Sani Abacha (RahimahulLAH) announced the creation of our state and Gusau as its capital, with 14 Local Government Councils on 1st October, 1996, we went into jubilation and celebration.
