MY piece on the budding mega schools in Borno, in mid-December, attracted plenty of reactions. My colleague, Buhari Hassan, a keen follower and contributor to this page, was one of the first to respond.

 THE  Civil Service was the focus of attention on this page early this month, after the political party primaries where many civil servants were seen to have openly competed for political offices at many levels.

It is these inadequacies in the laws that desperate directors on the run, exploit in courts to avoid getting their just deserts

While the north triples the south in number of public primary schools, the south has 67 percent literacy level while the north has a dismal 34 percent literacy

THE recently concluded primary elections have once more brought forth the acute dilemma of those in the civil service to come out as candidates for political positions or not. Ideally civil servants should resign from their offices before putting themselves up for elective posts. But what we have now is clearly getting out of hand.
