Speaking on Thursday, May 2, in Abuja, during the launch of the standard copy of the Khattul Barnawy handwritten Qur’an, the governor said his administration had made achievements in the developmental projects, policies and programmes in all sectors in the state.

Daily Trust reports that Gaidam said 100,000 copies of the standard Holy Qur’an had been produced by the state government for distribution to mosques, ‘Madrasas and Tsangaya schools, Ulamas’ and individuals.

According to him, this is “one of the most remarkable and most important functions that will cap the achievements of our administration in the past 10 years.”

Speaking earlier, the chairman of the Local Organising Committee (LOC), Alhaji Baba Wali, who is also the secretary to the Yobe state government, said the work on Khattul Barnawy was the first concerted effort by any government to bring together scholars to work on the standardization, since the coming of Islam to Nigeria.

Legit.ng earlier reported that the Jigawa state government recently declared its readiness to implement the N30,000 new minimum wage.

The declaration was made by the deputy governor of the state, Ibrahim Hassan Hadeija, while taking questions from members of the press on Monday, April 29.

Meanwhile, the Oyo state governor-elect, Seyi Makinde, said the state cannot pay the new national minimum wage of N30,000 just signed into law by President Muhammadu Buhari.

Makinde in a report in Tribune published on Wednesday, May 1, said the federal government should have allowed states to negotiate the new minimum wage for their workers as the condition of living varies from state to state.

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.

The pioneering phase We have called the first phase that of the pioneers. But since the phrase “pioneer poets” has often been used of writers of English expression like Osadebay, Casely-Hayford and Dei-Anag, we should point out that our “pioneer phase” also includes Negritude poets of French expression. The poetry of this phase is that of writers in “exile” keenly aware of being colonials, whose identity was under siege. It is a poetry of protest against exploitation and racial discrimination, of agitation for political independence, of nostalgic evocation of Africa’s past and visions of her future. However, although these were themes common to poets of both English and French expression, the obvious differences between the Francophone poets and the Anglophone writers of the 1930s and 1940s have been generally noted. Because of the intensity with which they felt their physical exile from Africa, coupled with their exposure to the experimental contemporary modes of writing in F
