His Excellency Alhaji Yahaya Bello, Congratulations on your Inauguration as the 4th and 5th executive Governor of Kogi state.
His Excellency, I will like to use this medium to advise on this issue that had eaten deep into my thinking faculty for years.
His Excellency, before our party (APC) took over the mantle of leadership from PDP in Kogi State, WAEC registration was free, during Ibro's administration down to Wada's administration before your administration put an end to it due to the reason best known to you His Excellency.
His Excellency, I am advising you to cut down the size of your cabinet and use the fund to pay WAEC fees of Kogi secondary school students.
Analytically, WAEC fees of each student is #20,000. This implies that the monthly salary of one appointee on salary of #5OO,OOO can pay WAEC fees of 25 students.
His Excellency, looking at the acrimonious situation in our society today, good number of intelligents students from poor homes had dropped out secondary schools due to stoppage of this good gesture from the state government in the past.
His Excellency, Education is a social commodity. As Nelson Mandela says, “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” Education is the keyb to eliminating gender inequality, to reducing poverty, to creating a sustainable planet, to preventing needless deaths and illness, and to fostering peace.
His Excellency, good number of first class students and other class of best graduating students in higher citadel of learning in Kogi State should be sponsored for MSc and PhD. This is because so many benefited from the state government in the past and they are now lecturers today in our various higher institutions of learning.
His Excellency, I am not saying you should not reward your political foot soldiers, but appointment shouldn't be the only way of rewarding loyalists. Let's put the horse before the cart.
His Excellency, I wish you and your cabinet members a successful tenure.
