From Aminu Umar Bukkuyum

Kebbi State Governor, Comrade Dr. Nasir Idris has donated N5m to Government Secondary School (GGS) Zuru Old Boys Association.

This is contained in a press statement signed by the Chief Press Secretary to Kebbi State Governor, Alhaji Ahmed Idris and made available to Newsmen in Birnin Kebbi, the state capital.

Idris quoted the governor as saying this during the commissioning of a reconstructed burnt administrative block, classrooms as well as access road in the school in Zuru.

He said that the gesture was to complement the efforts of the old boys in renovating and developing the school structure as a way of payback to their alma-mater.

The governor, who was represented by the Head of Service (HoS), Alhaji Sufiyanu Garba-Bena said the school which was established about 50 years ago had produced prominent personalities spread across the country contributing to national growth and development. 

He explained that education sector development through the provision of conducive learning atmosphere for students remained part of the present administration's priority towards ensuring a sound society that would meaningfully contribute to national progress. 

"Remember, I am a trained teacher and I promised to upgrade at least a secondary school across the three Senatorial Districts to Mega School, this, I will do by the grace of Almighty Allah. 

"This gesture of the old boys to renovate portions of the school is in line with my administration's aspirations, therefore I must salute their efforts for a job well done," he said. 

He then urged the college management to be thankful to the old boys for supporting the school in different ways including; infrastructure renovation, donation, supply of equipment or sponsorship of projects among others which would certainly make an impact on both teachers and students. 

The governor recalled that he had recently approved for the elongation of teachers' years of service from 35 to 40 years as well as 60 to 65 years of age, which according to him, will surely address the manpower shortage in the education sector.
