Reaffirming his administration’s commitment to education, Governor Idris highlighted his initiatives to enhance learning opportunities for students in the state.
‘My government is committed to providing free education, covering tuition, registration, and examination fees. We also provide upkeep and accommodation allowances to support the students’ he said.
The governor further disclosed that funding for school feeding has been increased from N175 million to N300 million to ensure that students have access to quality meals.
The governor also noted that his administration has constructed 333 new schools and rehabilitated 1,816 existing structures, equipping them with necessary teaching and learning materials.
As a gesture of gratitude, the governor announced a donation of N10 million to his former classmates and another N20 million to the current male and female students at the school.
Governor Idris also disclosed that his administration would distribute 350 truckloads of assorted grains to residents as part of the Ramadan feeding programme starting from Thursday.
Expressing appreciation for his classmates’ support during the 2023 elections, he urged the people of Kebbi State to continue to support the APC to sustain the dividends of democracy.
Speaking on behalf of the Old Boys, former Kebbi State NLC Chairman, Comrade Umar Halidu and Hajiya Halima Udu praised Governor Idris for his unwavering commitment to education.
Comrade Halidu acknowledged the governor’s significant contributions, saying,
‘Seventy percent of the structures in this school were built under his leadership. His commitment to free food distribution and agricultural support is commendable’.
Hajiya Halima Udu expressed excitement over the reunion and announced plans by a former classmate to compile profiles and photographs of all former students, including the governor, to strengthen their bond.
