Bauchi State Governor Isa Yuguda has made good his promise to teach in a secondary school in the state, once in a week.
On Friday, he spent 45 minutes at the Government Girls’ College, Bauchi, teaching Senior Secondary School three (SSS3) pupils Economics.
He had said he would voluntarily be teaching the students in various schools across the state, as part of his personal contributions to the revival of the falling standard of education in the state in particular and the country as a whole.
In the class, Yuguda, who spent 45 minutes with the students said because of his tight schedule as a governor, he would send the lesson notes.
Fielding questions from journalists after the class, the governor said, “It is very exciting to teach. Even though I am not a trained teacher, I believe I can teach because after all, I bring up children in my family.
“So, my experience is just an addition to what I have been experiencing out there at home.”
A statement on Sunday by his Special Assistant on Media, Abubakar al-Sadique, quoted him as having said that collaborative efforts by the government, the private sector and parents were needed to improve the standard of education in the state.
He, therefore, called on those who volunteered to assist the state government, including journalists to “create time and teach until the time the state gets adequate teachers to take care of its public schools.”
Yuguda, who lamented that only 1,800 teachers were available for 150,000 secondary school students in the public schools in the state, blamed the low standard of education on the dearth of teachers.
He therefore called for more volunteer teachers.
While commending the governor for the novel idea, a teacher in the college, Hajiya Hadiza Ibrahim, said “such a gesture from the governor will make us show more commitment to our job as teachers.”
Ibrahim decried the attitude of some former governors of the state, whom, she alleged, spent all their tenure without visiting the college.
Meanwhile, Yuguda has called for concerted efforts by stakeholders in the eradication of drugs trafficking, addiction and abuse in Nigeria.”
The governor, who spoke through his Deputy, Alhaji Garba Muhammad Gadi, when the Chairman of the National Drugs Law Enforcement, Alhaji Adamu Giade, visited his office, said drug trafficking, addiction and abuse had “been ravaging our society like a wild fire.”
Yuguda lamented that youths were the most affected by the drug menace and enjoined local governments and traditional leaders to pay more attention to those who trade in drugs.
