A Kaduna-based politician has built and commissioned a school solely for the education of orphans and children from less privileged background.
The grand occasion of commissioning the school named in Hausa vernacular ‘Kowa Namu Ne,’ loosely translated as ‘Everyone is Ours’ had in attendance prominent members of the society such as traditional rulers, religious leaders, elected and appointed public office holders among others.
The school located in Magagi Close, Kwaru, Badarawa, Kaduna according to the Founder of the Foundation, Hon. AbdulAzeez Kaka would cater for basic education needs of orphans and children from poor homes whose parents could not afford to send them to school.
He stressed that no learner would pay a dime, adding that funds had been set aside for salaries of teachers and other non-teaching staff to have smooth, seamless and uninterrupted academic sessions.
He disclosed that learning would commence with first intake of learners as soon as schools reopen immediately.
Hon. Kaka used the opportunity to call on the good people of kaduna state to support and pray for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Gov Uba Sani for uniting the people and achievements recorded in less than two years in office.
Invited guests at the event took turns to pour eulogies on Hon. Kaka for his passion to positively impact lives of the masses, particularly orphans and the less privileged.
Member, representing Kawo Ward in Kaduna State House of Assembly, Hon. Naziru Sanusi Abubakar while commending Kaka for his passion for the education of orphans emphasized the need to pay special attention to the welfare of vulnerable members of the society.
He pledged to contribute his quota to the school by supporting the learners and their teachers financially so they could have successful academic cycles.
According him, the surest way to tackle societal nuisance was providing good education to the poor to safeguard children of impressionable ages from moral predators who could influence their values in negative ways.
Traditional head of Kwaru charged privileged members of the society to complement efforts of governments by supporting the education sector so that the society would have more literate population for growth and development.
The traditional head, commended Hon. Kaka for carrying out philanthropic gestures of distributing palliatives during Ramadan, Sallah, Christmas and Easter periods to members of the community.
