Emir advocates state of emergency on education in Zazzau Emirate
The Emir of Zazzau in Kaduna, Ahmed Bamalli, has advocated for a state of emergency on education as a robust approach to strengthen learning and skills acquisition in the emirate.
He made the declaration at a book presentation of former DG of National Teachers’ Institute, Aminu-Ladan Sharehu, as Professor of Public Administration in Zaria on Monday.
The royal father noted all was not well with education in Zazzau Emirate following the backwardness recorded in education within recent years.
Mr Bamalli, who applauded the effort of both federal and state governments in developing the education sector, urged illustrious sons of the emirate to complement the efforts.
He said that the emirate was the centre of academic excellence in the region as it houses the famous ABU Zaria and numerous academic institutions.
He, therefore, expressed concern over how the emirate was left far behind in terms of catchment requirements and admission, especially at the university.
The traditional ruler lamented that many students and pupils in the emirate were not attending schools for over a year due to insecurity.
