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.

It was gathered yesterday that the embattled governor had in the last 48 hours been roaming the corridors of the Presidential Villa in desperate search for help. He was said to have offered to refund the balance of $2.5 million quietly to the EFCC without being further investigated, given that one of the proxies used to launder the funds had already surrendered $500,000 to the anti-graft agency. It was learnt that the governor, who disguised to enter the Villa, avoided the prying eyes of journalists at the seat of power. A government source said: “The governor was looking visibly disturbed, but it was obvious he was seeking help. The manner he managed his shuttle to the Villa suggested that he had something up his sleeves. “I think he is ready to refund $2.5 million sinc...
