Hence, the group of students from different tertiary institutions across the country decorated the Njodi, with a medal of honor.
Performing the ceremony, the GOSSA President said the honor became necessary in view of the performance of Governor Yahaya’s administration which the SSG is a part of in the area of students’ welfare.
He said, “The first issue we made emphasis during our initial visit to you Sir has to do with the nonpayment of students scholarship from 2016 to 2017 academic session up until 2020 when His Excellency made the payment with help of the SSG who have helped in the struggle”.
The President equally commended the Gombe State Government for facilitating the renovation of its National Secretariat which has been in dire need of attention for years.
He further revealed that the State government responded to the Association’s request for mobility through the resuscitation of their grounded vehicle pending the procurement of a new one.
He explained that students of Gombe State origin are happy with the payment of their scholarship after four years of needless delay, saying that the intervention was a soothing relief to both students and parents.
On his part, the SSG, Prof. Njodi said students and by extension, the youth have become the symbol of his movement.
He said the administration of Governor Yahaya is left with no other choice than to revamp the education sector which has suffered years of neglect in the state.
“Our concern has been predicated on fact that there was a dangerous pointer that if you want to destroy a society you destroy the Education.
“Don’t shoot anybody, don’t send any nuclear bomb, if you destroy the Education system is a matter of time they will begin to fall and the whole system will collapse,” Njodi said.
He added, “Today we are living witnesses we have started renovating our schools we have started bringing back sanity and life to our schools, the President has said it we have brought up the payment of scholarship up to 2020 and we are not going to stop.”
Njodi revealed that the administration of Governor Yahaya is committed to bequeathing a state where young people can walk with their shoulders high.
