MAKING A POLICY IS BETTER THAN NOT, NO MATTER THE CONSEQUENCES - Hassan Usman Datti

MAKING A POLICY ON ANY MATTER IS BETTER THAN NOT, NO MATTER THE CONSEQUENCES



Katsina State Government has made a policy in the education sector concerning the payment of Senior Secondary Certificate Examination (SSCE) fees to the students enrolled in the Public Schools, by introducing a bench mark score of five credits in a Mock  Examination sort of for the students to qualify and benefit from such Executive largesse

Worthy of note is  that, the administration is poised to provide quality and standard education to the teeming pupil in the state regardless from city or village get access to it

That was why, Education Sector has became one of the priority sector worthy of concentration of His Excellency Rt Hon Aminu Bello Masari by putting all his weight and energy to revive the glory of Katsina State as cradle of knowledge which it is known for, over time and history.

It is very unfortunate, to read how people are showing dissatisfaction with the outcomes of this year's Mock Examination, for the failure of the students to score the required credits which supposedly all the accusing fingers should be on the students.

The government have done its part by providing the manpower, classes and materials. Parents should also do their part to make sure their wards are morally brought up, going to the school regularly and  working very hard, to meet the requisites and trudge the hurdles of class work and attitudinal and behavioral needs.

All of us, have an obligation to the education sector, government alone can't make everything excellent in this capital intense and highly demanding sector, in the process of reviving the system, it need our collective inputs to carry out this task. It is my prayers to all, as I commit my pen to paper, that Parents Teachers Association (PTA) would be more than ever before be committed in creating the understanding that would add value to the system in Katsina State, it is an issue that requires our total and complete involvement, if we really want education to progress and be qualitative for the teeming population of the younger generation to compete in the global arena, really, we must get involved. Folding our arms and being neutral will not solve anything.

The past regime has made an effort in the payment of Exams Fees to the teeming students  despite of the poor outcomes, thus resulted in, wastage of public fund and very warrysome. The most considerable issue here is that, out of the total number of students that benefited the payment of SSCE Fees during the tenure of the past government, out of their percentage of those who sat both WAEC/NECO and NABTEB of the cumulative five years, only the range of 25% to 30% scored the required papers while the remaining 70% and 75% failed, which means that the payment did not yielded any tangible outcome which, if it had been sorted out would have saved much for others to have a place.

This administration, decided to spend the fund judiciously meant for payment of SSCE in order to revive the system of education instead of paying for the loss which seemingly will bring the desired goals devoid of waste.

The machineries of government, Executive, Legislature and judiciary have a legal right to ascribe policies with consent and approval of the each other. It is prior to the council deliberations on this matters that prompted for execution and implementation.

I just highlighted the functions of the arms of government in order to draw our attention on how the power is being exercised by these machineries of government with out overpowering one another, and remind us that, executives alone have no legal power to made policies with out the consent of other arms.

At this juncture, let me make it clear that, there is different between the issue of drop out students and issue of the students that failed Mock Examination. Drop out students are those student that failed to made their SSCE and end up with nothing after their passing out and decided to mingle and hang around with thugs in the society while the students that failed their Mock Exams, they still have chance to enroll for the second and third chance at their various Secondary Schools to sit again for the Mock Exams inorder to qualify for the SSCE in the subsequent year and benefit the government payment.

To be fair and sincere, between the past and present regime on the issue of education, the past administration has done their best in the payment of the SSCE fees with out tracking and solving the problematic factors (root causes) that thwarted the progress of education across the state, by the coming of this regime in May 2015, it has set several committees on Education with number of term of references, such that problems and needs assessment, in order to find out and bring to the notice of government, the generic factors inhibiting the progress of the education and advise the  government on long term measures to address the situation which was instantly applied and bring the issue back on track and effort is in this direction to making it into reality.

I am sure  we are all witnessed how the far journey has fared so far, in terms of building of new structures, renovation and remodel, provision of learning and instructional materials, others are laboratory equipments which so far we must admit is as well so good, and something tangible has been achieved in education sector.

GOVERNOR MASARI'S 2017 BUDGET SPEECH

GOVERNOR AMINU BELLO MASARI'S 2017 BUDGET SPEECH.

INTRODUCTION
 Alhamdulillah. I wish to begin by expressing my sincere appreciation to Allah (SWT) for sparing our lives and for giving us the strength and wisdom to stand before you today and present the 2017 Budget Estimates, which is tagged “Budget of Stabilization”.

I have no doubt in my mind that from the date we took over the administration of Katsina State, the art and process of governance in the State have completely changed to a process where people always come first.

 Mr. Speaker, Honourable Members of Katsina State House of Assembly, I wish to reassure you that the present administration is strictly following its designed policies and programmes for the general well being of the people of Katsina State.

We once again express our gratitude to Allah for guiding us to success.

2016 BUDGET REVIEW
  It is common knowledge to all Nigerians in general and people of Katsina State in particular, that the 2016 financial year came with so many challenges. Governments at all levels were and are still battling with dwindling oil revenue arising from the world wide fall of crude oil prices, economic saboteurs, militants in the Niger Delta, Insurgents, Kidnappers, Cattle Rustlers and so on. These have greatly affected revenue generation at all levels. Without these revenues, Governments find it difficult to perform to the expectations of the people. Despite all these,

Katsina State Government was able to accomplish a lot in the areas of Education, Health, provision of potable drinking water for both human and animal consumption, Infrastructural Development, Poverty Alleviation, Economic Empowerment, Security, etc.

Mr. Speaker, Honourable Members of the State House of Assembly, other distinguished guests, let me therefore seize this opportunity to review the performance of the 2016 Budget in the process of uplifting the lives and standard of living of the people of Katsina State.

AJIYA, MAJIDADI AND GARKUWAN MATAWALLEN HAUSA.

AJIYA, MAJIDADI AND GARKUWAN MATAWALLEN HAUSA.

My attention was drawn to a post that I posted in the evening of Tuesday, concerning the turbaning of senior aides, Alh Ibrahim Umar (Teacher) and Haruna Musa by HRH, the Emir of Daura which I was unable to verify before I made the post.

They were actually conferred with these honorary titles by the Matawallen Hausa, and from the information I posted, I honestly mistook the title's names by assigning Majidadin Matawallen Hausa to Alh Ibrahim Teacher and Garkuwan Matawallen Hausa to Haruna Musa.

While in a real sense, Alh Ibrahim Teacher was conferred as Ajiyan Matawallen Hausa while Mustapha Abdu Saulawa as Majidadin Matawallen Hausa and Hon Sani Aliyu Danlami Garkuwan Matawallen Hausa.

It is my apology for my inability as human being to confirmed the information that I received from a brother and assigned the correct traditional tittle names conferred to these senior aides which they were honored with by the Matawallen Hausa, Rt Hon Aminu Bello Masari.

SIR AHMADU BELLO'S (SARDAUNA OF SOKOTO) XMAS MESSAGE TO NORTHERN CHRISTMAS IN 1959

SIR AHMADU BELLO'S (SARDAUNA) XMAS MESSAGE TO NORTHERN CHRISTIANS IN 1959.

We are people of many different races, tribes and religions, who are knit together by common history, common interests and common ideals. Our diversity maybe great but the things that unite us are stronger than the things that divide us. Families of all creeds and color can rely on these assurance. We have no intention of favoring one religion at the expense of another. Subject to overriding need to preserve law and order, it is our determination that every one should have absolute liberty to practice his belief. It is befitting on this momentous day, on behalf of my ministers and myself, to send a special word of gratitude to all christian missions. Let me conclude this with a personal message, I extend my greetings to all our people who are christians on this great feast day. Let us forget the difference in our religion and remember the common brotherhood before God, by dedicating ourselves afresh to the great tasks which lie before us.

My take:

Sir Ahmadu Bello, Sardauna of Sokoto, a former Premier of the Northern Nigeria, a true nationalist, an icon of justice and unity, a role model. He unequivocally and undoubtedly proved his patriotism.

He had really sent a confederative word to our fellow christian brothers and sisters calling for our unity. Denoted the coalition of our country Nigeria that has different ethnicities and religious practitioners to stands as one entity. I honestly appreciated his message that had reiterated and emphasized us to live happily in love, peace, unity, harmony, appreciation and understanding the differences of one another. May his gentle soul rest in peace.

Therefore, I will like to seize this opportunity, on behalf of myself, my family, APC administration and others, to send my warmly xmas's message to all of my christian friends lively in this medium.

Furthermore, with due honor and respect, I wish to borrow the words of Sir Ahmadu Bello (Sardauna of Sokoto) of the 1959 xmas's message and I willingly and passionately send them again to my christians fellow citizens as my xmas's message for this year and I wish you happy and wonderful celebration come 25th Dec. 2016.

Happy Xmas in advance!

VISUAL ASPECT EXPLAINS NOT THE HIDDEN ASPECT - Hassan Usman Datti

VISUAL ASPECT EXPLAINS NOT THE HIDDEN ASPECT

I vividly remembered the 2015 political dispensation, in which Governor Masari was not exception among the Governorship contestants through which he was elected the Executive Governor.

 As earlier noted, Governor Masari contested for the office of the Executive Governor under the APC Platform, after he worn the primary election with overwhelming majority. He was fielded as the party candidate to face the PDP ruling party in the General Election. His candidacy had meet with great challenges, the fire was actually ignited and heated by thje PDP cohorts and their loyalists who made number of attempts to destroy Masari's reputation and personality but their mischief became casual, they have instigated lies against his innocent unique individual, they did all what they could in their power in order to tarnish his image and take away from his side thousands of legible voters to carry the majority votes during the 2015 polls but at last they woefully failed.

One incident that I remember which I couldn't forget in my life, it was the acts of thuggery and banditry which the Restoration Project Support Group (Masari Campaign Office) became a victim, they attacked our campaign office and destroyed properties worth huge amount of money. They thought attacking Masari and his campaign team, might could set  a fear and grief in our minds but that transformed to energy that made us strong to challenge them in the 2016 General Election.

During the PDP Electioneering Campaign Tour, Masari have been called after several negative names over the podium, they falsely accused him with so many allegations, they deliberately teared aparts his personality in the eyes of good people of Katsina State, via motion pictures, over the air, through the social media community and in the people gathering all in the name of politics.

But, today in Allah's glory and marcy Masari is the one who got the victory, he is the one that is stirring our affairs, he is the one that is fixing the mismanagement done by the past administration, he is the one that is restoring our hope  to make Katsina State great again. He is the number one Katsina citizen, the Executive Governor of Katsina State, Rt Hon Aminu Bello Masari, CFR, fnim (Dallatun Katsina).

Life is dynamic, there is no thing in life that is constant and steady fast. There a lot of lessons in life. One lesson I leant and felt sharing it with you. When the Shema was in power, he was highly respected and honored by all of his cabinets, masses and some people from other part of the world. Though, knowing that of his greediness and selfishness, embezzlement and mismanagement but that doesn't seem reason to interfere in his administration by elites and members of his cabinet for forwarding pieces of advise.

Today Shema was no longer the Governor of Katsina and we saw where he end up in EFCC custody. What a shame for a former Governor that earned the respect and honor to be in a custody even for an hour. It is really a shameful and bad fate. In democratic government, leadership with deliverance of justice, transparency and dividend of democracy is only what unhooked actions of a leader when it was hooked with charges in a court, in this world and hereafter.

Lastly,I seek Almighty Allah (SWA) to guide, protect Governor Masari and members of his council and bless every decision they took through out the first and second tenures of APC Administration.

THE MAN WHO FORSAKE HIS COMFORT FOR A LOVE TO HIS MENTOR

Going back into history of Katsina State political practices, I must remembered the political career of Wada Protocol, the Senior Special Assistant Protocol to current sitting Governor of Katsina State, Dallatun Katsina, Rt Hon Aminu Bello Masari.

Did you know that this gentle man sacrifice a lot of his comfort to support the Governor Masari's governorship aspiration since his first attempt in 2007?

Mustapha Wada Saulawa was a chief protocol officer to the late former Governor of Katsina State and Second democratically elected Governor, Late Mallam Umar Musa Yar'adua between 2003 and 2006, at during those days he met with challenging obstacles on his official assignments which eventually lead to his dismissal from serving the late Umar Yar'adua from the office he was occupied. His dismissal was as the result of his love, loyalty and maximum support he had shown to the Masari's Governorship aspiration then.

Since before the trumpet blown for the Fourth Republic Politics, Wada was known together with Governor Masari. He was also in Katsina State Civil Service, serving as Director. When Wada received a dismissal letter from the late Yar'adua's administration he courageously stand up against all odds and utilized the available advantages and back himself into service. When Shema sworn in in 2007 as the Executive Governor of Katsina State, Wada was started being mistreated and threatened, but that did not became a reason to Wada to withdraw his support to Nasari.

Nevertheless, it was during then Shema administration, Mustapha Wada had faced uncountable number of intimidation and harassment, he was got demotion twice all because of his loves to Rt Hon Aminu Bello Masari. He was demoted from the position of Director to Asst. Director, he was bullied with different number of transfers to various number of Ministries and Departments. He take heart and courage, and proceed with the struggle and giving his total support to Rt Hon Aminu Bello Masari.

This gentle man, is counts among the top three persons that seriously shows their uttermost loyalty and support to the present Katsina State Governor, Rt Hon Aminu Bello Masari. Indeed, Masari Political history will not forget the name of Mustapha Abdu Saulawa.

CRTICISM IS NORMAL TRADITION IN POLITICS

CRITICISM IS NORMAL TRADITION IN POLITICS

In my little knowledge and experience in politics, I leant that criticism is the normal tradition in politics which it is an opportunity given to the opposition parties who engaged desperately and uncontrollably in sighting out failure of the ruling party or government if there is any and making it known to the masses that are being leads. Meanwhile, to intimate the ruling class with the failure for taking the necessary measures for readiness and correctness, or to use that failure for their political advantages by putting them into consideration to serves as their campaign inputs for voting out the ruling party. It may therefore means that for weakening the strength of the ruling class where they have a strong hold and masses absolute supports and create sense of suspicious. In my opinion, I see the above analysis can stand strongly as the reasons for criticism in politics.

In the political ethics guiding the concept of practicing the politics, criticism is not a sin as long as the critic is criticizing the actions of the actors fairly base on scholarly facts and well known to people. Morality will come fourth to be consider as our guiding principle in justifying whether some one's wrong or right deserve condemnation or recommendation. You may criticize unconstructively a hundred times for free but you can't discourage the unrelenting effort of our dear Governor in making Katsina State forward.

It is unfortunate, that some among the young political class criticizes even the system normal procedures of the scheme of things. While these critics forgot to remember the past administration that have diverted, mismanaged and squandered their fund in the name of good leadership, who are absolutely deserve the pens' hot side. I have a hope that Katsina will be great in the hand of Governor Masari and be rest assured that, as long as Rt Hon Aminu Bello Masari is on the mantle of leadership of our dear state, we will have no regrets at all. Am quite sure that his actions and policies will make Katsina great and needs not the pen and hot ink of critic to make them work.

All what am trying to point out here is that, do not waste your energy to make unfairly criticism that will not add any value to the system unless heating the politics and changing the political atmosphere, to do a justice, criticize what is not right and recommend what is right. Most of us here knows that, the right and wrong thing stands differently and oppositely, likewise the right policy and wrong policy are visible to every eye neither a blind's eye nor disable's eye. Who ever done what is right he knows it deeply into his heart he done the righty thing.

Am not welcoming unconstructive and unobjective criticisms. That all.

BRAIN DAIN IN THE YOUNG POLITICAL CLASS

BRAIN DRAIN IN THE YOUNG POLITICAL CLASS

The way it has stated well insha Allah its the way it's going to end. The aspirations for the new Nigeria by our leaders and fellow patriotic Nigerian it is seem suffering in the hands of some of our Brain Drain Young Political Class, who were engaged in total condemnation and unobjective criticism to APC led administration. Despite the fact that, the sitting government both at the National and State level have came up with the long term benefit policies well known to every meaning Nigerian.

Here in my state, Katsina there are a lot to mention but few among the prioritized sectors of Governor Masari led administration; Agriculture, Water Resources, Health Care Services  and Education. Since before the  inception of this administration effort had been made to improve and tackle the worry some problem that has being hindering the goals attainment in these sectors.

In the effort of the sitting Governor, Rt Hon Aminu Bello Masari had set up several committees with different term of reference to come up with reports for putting into effect, well Governor Masari is doing all his best to restore the lost glory of the state, but he alone can't make it with out the total support of the good people of Katsina State.

Yeah! every one of us is aware that this administration had made several promises in different occasions in which it had fulfilled some and on the way of fulfilling others. To my surprise, instead of the fellow young political class to support the effort of the APC Administration they rather choosed to indulged in unnecessary and unobjective critics which in one way or the other will not solve anything especially the economic meltdown our country got itself.

Even a blind can testify the achievements so far recorded by this government, Education and Health Care Sectors are enough to justify the effort of Governor Masari in his quest to take Katsina State to highest level of development. Nevertheless, the  much energy he is putting in place to make the pipe board water supply reach every nook and cranny of the state, urban and rural areas. Improving dry/wet season farming by injecting modern technical skills and providing adequate fertilizer which is also gaining the momentum across the state. In the other sectors, he is doing all what is possible and necessary to satisfy the needs of the Katsina State citizens.

My advice to fellow young politicians, let us support the APC led administration and pray for their success, pray for revival of our economic situation. Allah (SWA) alone knows what tomorrow hold, but Governor mean goodness to his dear people.
