Abdulahi lamented the poor standard of education in the local government assuring that he would do the needful and improve the status as contained in his blueprint.

“Our education system is down and we want to uplift it again. I went round the primary and junior secondary schools and I have identified the problems on ground by the grace of God and we’re out to fix them.

“I saw a class of Jss1 students with about 100 students whereas there shouldn’t be more than 40 students in a class such that the teachers should be able to identify the students by their names”

He added that,”in some primary schools we see some people sitting on the floor to take notes and teaching from their teachers which is highly embarrassing. Some of them don’t have portable water in schools, so we’re out to give them portable water to eradicate water borne diseases in our environment and school and also construct more classrooms and recruit more teachers.”

The Council Chairman added that he’s currently working on recovery of properties of the local government, while he’s awaiting the report of the committee set up to identify the minerals resources in the local government,their condition and potential.

He also commended Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq for stepping up the development of the state in the areas of massive infrastructure and human capital development which he described as unprecedented in the history of the state, adding that he’s following his template through his Blueprint to develop the local government.

Abdullah also envisaged challenge in the area of finance but expressed optimism that the federal government would assist in the monthly allocation increment anytime soon,while he’ll also not relent in his efforts to explore means of increasing IGR in the council without putting residents and other stakeholders under financial pressure.
