Primary school in Kebbi where students sit on bare floor (photos)

- Students in Maga Model Primary School in Kebbi state sit on bare floor to learn in their classrooms

- The horrible situation has remained the same even after the school was nominated for rehabilitation in the 2018 budget

- The sum of N50 billion was reportedly released but, nothing has been done to fix the school

Situations like what is presently happening in Maga Model Primary school in Kebbi state may have partly informed the decision of Nigerians to pick education as one of the key areas the federal government needs to focus on now that presidential election is done.

A twitter account called Tracka NG posted pictures of children learning under very inhumane conditions as some of them could be seen sitting on bare floor in their classrooms.

Tracka NG said the school was billed for rehabilitation in the 2018 budget by Senator Bala Ibn Naallah, but despite the released N50 billion, nothing has been done to fix it.

In the pictures, the children were huddled together in a position that is very uncomfortable for learning.

Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that FlexiSAF Foundation and Connected Development (CODE) signed a broad agreement to identify and verify the number of out of school children in selected states in Nigeria and increase citizen participation through awareness raising.

The partnership by both organisations was signed on Monday, March 18, at CODE's office in Abuja.

This came at a time when stakeholders have been calling for sustainable measures to be put in place to strengthen the quality of education in Nigeria and curtail the growing number of out of school children, which has grossly affected the northern region.

Speaking at the event, Ahmed Salihijo, chairman of Flexisaf Foundation said: “It is indeed a remarkable feat to partner with CODE in our mutual goal to reach out a helping hand to communities in need. We will be able to have access to more communities to provide basic education for all children."

Salihijo noted that the initiative is a Corporate Social Responsibility for FlexiSAF, while informing that the foundation already engaged over a 100 children in similar programmes either formally or informally through partnerships in the past.

The Transitional Phase of African Poetry

The Transitional Phase The second phase, which we have chosen to call transitional, is represented by the poetry of writers like Abioseh Nicol, Gabriel Okara, Kwesi Brew, Dennis Brutus, Lenrie Peters and Joseph Kariuki. This is poetry which is written by people we normally refer to as modem and who may be thought of as belonging to the third phase. The characteristics of this poetry are its competent and articulate use of the received European language, its unforced grasp of Africa’s physical, cultural and socio-political environment and often its lyricism. To distinguish this type of poetry we have to refer back to the concept of appropriation we introduced earlier. At the simplest and basic level, the cultural mandate of possessing a people’s piece of the earth involves a mental and emotional homecoming within the physical environment. Poems like Brew’s ‘‘Dry season”, Okara’s “Call of the River Nun”, Nicol’s “The meaning of Africa” and Soyinka’s “Season”, to give a few examples,

Former Maritime Agency Boss, Buba Galadima, Accuses AMCON Of Witch-hunt After Property Takeover

  A former Director-General of the Nigeria Maritime Agency, Buba Galadima, has accused the Asset Management Corporation of Nigeria of witch-hunt after the agency took possession of his business and assets on Tuesday in Abuja. Galadima, an ardent critic of President Muhammadu Buhari, claimed that he did not borrow money or have unpaid debt with Unity Bank, which lodged a complaint against him and occasioned AMCON’s move on Tuesday. The properties taken over include House No. 15, Addis Ababa Crescent, Wuse Zone 4, Federal Capital Territory, Abuja and House No. 4, Bangui Street, Wuse 2, also in Abuja.  Reacting to the situation, Galadima said, “This is an attempt to disgrace and break me down. This is injustice and an attempt to humiliate me. "But I am unbreakable and they can never silence me. They sacked me and over 50 people that sleep in the apartment. "We don’t know where to go. We will remain on the streets. We will remain on the streets until God provi
