While expressing satisfaction with the quality and level of the work, he assured that his administration will remain committed to building a resilient state for the present and subsequent generations.

Inuwa Yahaya explained that the school was one of the five mega schools built by his administration to improve the quality of education and promote enrollment.

“We have provided all the required infrastructure, such as roads and water supply, and also deployed adequate teachers and other human and material resources needed”, he said, expressing hope that the projects will be completed before the end of September this year.

He also noted that his administration has constructed five similar schools across the state in line with his vision to develop the education sector.

The Governor urged the contractors handling the project to fast-track the pace of the work so that it would be completed before the commencement of the new academic session.

In his response, the site manager overseeing the projects said that the 1.7 km of road construction has reached about 95% level of completion, while other structures have attained a significant level, assuring to work in line with the governor’s directive to deliver the project on time.

Also in his goodwill message, the principal of the school thanked Governor Inuwa Yahaya for rescuing the school from its erstwhile moribund condition.

The school did not receive the needed attention from the previous administrations”, he recalled.
