MY ADVICE TO THE COMMITTEE CONSTITUTED TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE OF MASS FAILURE (SSSCE) IN ZAMFARA STATE
It is a welcoming improvement, that Zamfara state government has constituted seven man committee to address the issue of mass failure on senior secondry schools certifate examinations (SSSCE). It atleast shows the government readiness to bring back life of education that has died for long.
I believe I am too young to advice this committee on this issue, most expecially knowing that the committee has great personalities that can exercise this great duty and also bring this issue to history.
With all this, I deemed it imperative to put my contribution as somebody who wrote these papers in not more than seven years ago.
I will strict myself on what appeared in the government house press release signed by Mr. Aminu Ibrahim Gusau, Director Press Affairs, Government House Gusau, that reads “ Also the committee would be meeting with all relevant stakeholders and provide modalities for employment of professional teachers to curve the excess of examination failure by Zamfara students.
Zamfara state Alhmdulilah has considerable number of professional teachers that have passion for teaching who can take care of that . But the problems are;
How to retain them. if I can recall at my school we lost many highly qualified teachers that left for guicy works to be well able to sustain their families. They were taking us very sensitive subjects which include: English, Mathematics, Chemistry, Physics and others. I believe uptill to now, that school has not gotten their rightful substitute.
Laboratories are not well equipped. There are some schools in Gusau which is the capital where their students cannot differentiate between laboratories from libraries, and they are science students with ambition to read Engineering, Medicines, Environmental Design courses. etc.
These and many others are part of what I think are necessary for the committee to consider.
MAY Allah bring this to an end, bless Zamfara state students, it citizens and the government. Also this write up is wishing this committee success in their duty.
THANKS.

ZURU: Beyond The Traditional Borders Of My Political Concerns
Travelling from Niger State through Kontagora or Sokoto/Zamfara States through Daki-Takwas, a first timer on the road would never imagine that a city of historical and demographic importance as Zuru will emerge ahead of the unbearable potholes that images in this update partially represent. To the best of my knowledge, and I travel a lot around to know, hardly do any communities exist in northern Nigeria with road access deprivation like those of Zuru Emirate. Perhaps communities around Gombe-Numan little compare save for the attention the road has been receiving on discussion related to infrastructural deficit and the little physical interventions they brings. The painful thing about the case of Zuru is that the issue of its road is hardly discussed. In my view, the case of access road around Zuru point to the fact that the meaning and essence of political participation need to be redefined in and for the Emirate at local, state and federal levels. The few diversions of Maga-Ri...
