THE CHANGING FACE OF PRIMARY EDUCATION IN YOBE STATE.
" Work to ensure that democracy as a form and process of Government remain meaningful and relevant to meet the material needs of the people in a political and effective manner ".
" No gainsaying the fact that primary or elementary education remains the bedrock and foundation of educational development of any society which its importance cannot be overemphasized".
This statement by His Excellency, Gov. MaiMalaBuniCON, during the foundation laying or flagged - off ceremony Modern Store in Damaturu.
He is barely four years by May 29, 2023 in office but the impact of his administration are felt here and there. One can say without fear of any contradiction that the adminstration of H.E Gov MaiMalaBuni CON, has so far achieved so much within the period, especially in his effort in changing the face of primary and junior secondary schools in Yobe State.
For example; State Universal Basic Education Board through the adminstration of Governor Mai Mala Buni CON, had approved the accessed of State Government's counter part fund and the FGN/UBEC Matching Grants for the years and utilised funds in line with the public procurement act for projects ( Model Nusery, primary and junior secondary schools).
In this wise, the present administration of His Excellency, Gov. Buni, would go down in our democratic history as one that positively changed the face of primary and junior secondary school education in the State.
Worth of note, also is the tirelessly commitment being put in by the man at the helm of affairs at the Yobe State Universal Basic Education Board, Prof. Musa Alabe FNSE ( Shettima ilmubeofDamaturu ), the Executive Chairman of the Board has put his feet down and bring his vast experience to bear on the board's activities, which is the agency of government that has been directly behind the construction of these classrooms in the State.
After all " Education For All is the Responsibility of All ".
