Appreciating  Ahmadu Bello’s Contribution To Education

Sir Ahmadu Bello

Being educated is always pride. An educated soul prospers and is always a figure. An educated figure is a proud and pride of a nation, and no nation can develop without achieving a greater height in education.

 

Education is an investment although with very low expectations of reaping a good outcome. An educated person dressed decently and differently, speaks carefully and softly, and act curiously. He perceived and act decisively based on experience and available facts.

 

There is no regret of being educated, and there is no success worth comparing with knowledge.  It is not wise to think of being or becoming rich when you’re educated, rather thought of the impact you will make and the differences you will make in your community. Your knowledge is your wealth and you can give to the community.

No doubt that an educated person has one impact to make unless he could not receive the support he might require.

In the 14th, 15th and 16th centuries knowledge received the best it deserved although with low sophisticated equipment,  but the zeal and commitment lead to their achievement.

 

There were discoveries, effective utilization of findings, and encouragement of research. The grave of noble people is always receiving thousands of glamorous and gorgeous scent of what they left.

The likes of Aristotle, Plato, Karl Max, Darwin, Piaget, Bloom, Einstein among others. The knowledge these great people left will forever be used across the globe.

We, therefore, appreciate our leaders of blessed memory, Sir Ahmadu Bello Sardauna of Sokoto for his efforts in making the region an educated space.

Sir Ahmadu Bello Sardauna encourages western education in the North and that really helped. The great leader Sir Ahmadu Bello initiated the only University in the North whose product excelled in many areas within and outside the Country.

The region is now blessed with an educated elite in all sectors of life.

Being educated could always open a way for better opportunities and wellbeing.

To be continued.

The governing council of the Nnamdi Azikiwe University has been dissolved by President Bola Tinubu.

The president dissolved the council and approved the removal of the institution’s vice-chancellor Bernard Odoh and the university registrar, Rosemary Nwokike.

A statement by Bayo Onanuga, the special adviser to the president on information and strategy said the action by Tinubu follows allegations of procedural violations in the appointment of the Vice-Chancellor.

He also said that the council led by Greg Ozumba Mbadiwe and including five other members—Hafiz Oladejo, Augustine Onyedebelu, Engr. Amioleran Osahon, and Rtd. Gen. Funsho Oyeneyin was accused of bypassing due process to appoint an unqualified candidate, prompting federal intervention.

Onanuga said, “The sacking of the governing council and officials followed reports that the council illegally appointed an unqualified vice-chancellor without following due process.

He added that following the controversial appointment, the Federal Government stepped in to address the rivalry between the university’s Senate and the governing council of the institution.

“The government expressed concern over the council’s apparent disregard for the university’s governing laws in its selection process”, Onanuga added.
