” I appeal to leaders to ensure they emulate Sir Ahmadu Bello by investing more in the education sector,”.
The Former Governor of Niger State, Alhaji Babangida Aliyu said that the country had to get it right in terms of the challenges bedeviling the country, especially in the North.
He said that there was a need for Northern governors to meet regularly, have information and share data as they begin to implement decisions, especially on security.
He said that to address the issue of high youth unemployment, Northern governors needed to harness available resources as well as build world class skills acquisition centres across their states.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Awards of Life Time Achievement in the Community were presented at the occasion to Alhaji Alhassan Dantata, a Kano-based tycoon and Justice Mariam Aloma Mukhtar.
