Shehu Sani Addressed The Media

The former Senator of Kaduna Central at the 8th National Assembly said that insurrection, kidnapping, criminality, and banditry will be a thing of the past under the current administration.

Sani revealed this on Saturday at the 40th anniversary and reunion of the ’84’ set of Kagara Old Boys Association.

The association of Government Science College, Kagara, in Rafi Local Government Area of Niger State.

The event was held at Ahmadu Bahago Secondary School in Minna, the state capital. The occasion helped to reunite the old boys, allowing them to reminisce and strategize about the school’s reopening.

He affirmed that insecurity will be eliminated if the Government is committed and proactive in its fight against criminal activities in the country.

 No society in the world today will progress without having good security architecture in place.

“The security challenges will be over in the whole country because what we have now is better than what we had during the Buhari administration. There is every evidence that our security forces have eliminated many of the top terrorists. And if you compare what we have today to what we had yesterday, it is still the best,” Sani declared.

The erstwhile Senator observed that under Buhari’s administration, we had a series of attacks on schools, including attacks on Green Field University, Kaduna; Bethel Baptist School, Kaduna; Government Science College, Kagara; Federal Government Girls’ College, Yauri; Federal School of Agricultural Mechanisation, Mando; Government Secondary School, Kankara; and Government Secondary School, Jangibe. 

“So, we are hopeful that things will be better.”

Sani has offered his support for the relocation of Government Science College, Kagara, as proposed by the Niger State Government. Throwing his weight behind the proposition that the location school could be reinstated if the security situation in the area improved. 

He commended the state Government, in collaboration with the Federal Government, for taking such a bold step in restoring the excellent reputation of the Kagara people.

Senator Shehu Sani further said that it is unfortunate that the schools that produced some of the best hands in this country’s history are today the ruins of what they used to be.

 “We must tell ourselves the fundamental truth that as long as we don’t provide education for our young ones, we will be creating a force that we will not be able to contain in the future.”

“Northern Nigeria must take education seriously; we lag in education; we have the highest number of out-of-school children today. The activities of bandits and terrorists have destroyed the educational fabric and basis of northern Nigeria.”

“The school we used to call our own has been deserted because bandits have once attacked the school and taken hostage students and some teachers,” he said.

Also in attendance, Dr. Philip Audu, the Treasurer of the ’84’ set of the association, Dr. Philip Audu Ibrahim, who represented the Chairman of the Association, Ja’afar Tukur, a Deputy Controller of Customs, said the old students were saddened and disappointed at the deplorable state of the college and make a rallying call on the Federal and State Governments to tame the issue of the insecurity in the country collectively.

“No sane person will be happy with the current state of Government Science College, Kagara. It’s an issue of insurgency.”

“You know that Kagara forms the boundary between Kaduna and Katsina, and it is the route through which bandits come into Niger State. And we are not happy with the condition of that school,” he said.

“We have been responsible for the school’s infrastructure for the past ten years. We are a group of old boys, but what is happening in Kagara today is beyond us as old students.”

“The state and federal governments should take decisive action to address the issue of banditry and insurgency in that location.”

It is yet to be seen if this current administration will obtain a higher score in combating insurgency and restoring peace in the country, which has ravaged her security and serenity.
