“The governor has given the necessary directives and soon, they would be apprehended.
“The governor recently had his first security council meeting with all heads of security agencies in attendance and the people are assured of their safety.” The commissioner said the governor reiterated his desire to revamp education in the state and ultimately make public schools attractive. “He charged the two commissioners in charge of primary/ secondary and tertiary education to ensure the functionality of the school system in the state.
“They were directed to ensure that public schools rank higher than the private ones and to make EXCO members and the public enrol their children in such schools. The governor also pledged to send them abroad to understudy functional education systems.”All rights reserved.
