…. harps cross cultural educational pursuit to further unite the country
The Secretary to Government of Gombe State has expressed confidence that the unity of Nigeria will be further enhanced if Nigerians take interest in seeking for knowledge different from their environment.
He gave this indication when he granted the audience to University of Nigeria Nsukka UNN Alumni Association Gombe State chapter led by its President Dr Jafar Waziri.
The SGS who recalled with nostalgia his days at the Nigeria’s institution, explained that the bold lines that binds the North and Southern parts of Nigeria are more material that the thin and faint imaginery line that divides the two regions.
He remarked that Nigeria and Nigerians stands to gain if trivialities are relegated to the background and issues revolving around unity, peace, equity fairness and justice are place on the front burner of national discuss.
Professor Njodi therefore called on Nigerians especially the younger to expand their quest for knowledge to environment other than their own so that the Unity in diversity of the Nigerian State can be deepen in the interest of Nation building and cohesion.
Earlier speaking the National Vice President North East of the Alumni Dr. Shettima Abdullahi revealed that they were at the Government House to celebrate with Professor Njodi an alumnus of UNN on appointment as the SGS and to thank Governor Inuwa Yahaya for deeming it fit to appoint and reappoint one of their own.
In the same vein, the President of UNN Alumni Association Gombe State chapter Dr Jafar Waziri explained that they were at the office to celebrate with him on his reappoint as the Chief scribe of the state.
He said the reappointment of Professor Ibrahim Abubakar Njodi as SGS did not come as an accident giving his track record as an excellent administrator and a crack academic with years of unqualifiable knowledge and experience.
Waziri expressed gratitude to Governor Yahaya for not only appointing one of their own as SGS but flooding his cabinet with academics and technocrats who have got intellectual versatility to deliver when it matters the most.
