I commended Governor Umar for believing in President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, which has positively impacted the student community in Jigawa. The Governor responded by commending President Tinubu’s policies, which align with his administration’s 12-point agenda.

He emphasized the importance of investing in education, citing it as the best legacy a government can give.
