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.

Buhari’s Legacy Of Recessions By Fredrick Nwabufo

Fredrick Nwabufo ‘Why always Buhari?’ As it was in 1984 under General Buhari, so it is in 2016 and 2020 under President Buhari? Is it by the unfortunate hands of kismet that recession hits Nigeria every time Buhari takes charge of the country’s affairs? If the recession of the 80s under Buhari was a conspiracy by economic and political factors, to what do we attribute that of his first coming as a civilian President — and now in his second coming? Why does pestilence scourge the land, hunger ravage the population and lives lost malevolently when Buhari presides over the country? Why always Buhari?

TYPES OF DRAMA II

Comedy: We use the words 'comedy' and comic to describe something that is funny in our everyday lives. These include a joke or a fantastic story that is full of nonsense, or an absurd appearance that makes us giggle, smile or laugh. Comedy is not inherent in things or people but the way things/people are perceived. Comedy is a deliberate presentation of events/experiences drawn from real life but not the same with real life. We should therefore not expect dramatic comedy to be the same as real life. Generally, the plays have good endings or resolutions, so when a play ends happily, we refer to it as comedy. In most comedies, the principal characters begin in a state of opposition either to one another or to their world or both. By the end of the play their opposition .is replaced by harmony. Aristotle in-.his “Poetics” insisted that in tragedy men are shown “better than they are”, while in comedy “worse than they are”. For him it is an artistic imitation of men of inferi...
