Tinubu’s re-election in Nigeria’s best interest—TSG
The Deputy Director General (North) of the Tinubu Support Group (TSG), Hon. Magaji Da’u Aliyu, has described the re-election of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for a second term as timely and in the best interest of Nigeria, citing the President’s sacrifices and bold reforms aimed at repositioning the nation’s socio-economic landscape.
Aliyu spoke shortly after receiving an Award of Honour from the Nigerian Union of Teachers (NUT), Birnin Kudu Local Government Area branch.
He said Nigerians owe President Tinubu deep appreciation for his commitment, intellect, and steadfast efforts to reform the country’s social and economic systems in line with global standards.
According to him, the President’s performance in social and infrastructural development across the country reflects patriotism and genuine dedication to national progress.
The former member of the House of Representatives also commended Jigawa State Governor, Malam Umar Namadi, for initiatives to revitalise the education sector through improved funding and timely releases for manpower and infrastructure development in both basic and tertiary institutions.
Aliyu expressed gratitude to the NUT for the recognition, describing it as encouragement to contribute more to societal development. “I am deeply grateful for this honour. Whatever we have done is a contribution to development and the upliftment of our people, which we consider a duty,” he said.
Earlier, the NUT Birnin Kudu branch chairman, Alhaji Musa Muhammad, said the event was organised to recognise individuals and organisations for outstanding contributions to education, both financially and materially.
He noted that the branch had facilitated degree programmes under the National Teachers Institute and supported the establishment of the College of Education, Gumel campus, for NCE programmes.
Muhammad said Engr. Magaji Da’u was selected strictly on merit, citing his support for teaching and learning, including sponsorship of youths to colleges of education to obtain the Nigeria Certificate in Education (NCE).
In his remarks, the District Head of Birnin Kudu, Alhaji Husain Hassan Jibrin, urged the NUT to strengthen monitoring and inspection to improve student attendance and learning outcomes.
Also speaking, the Chairman of Muryar Birnin Kudu, Alhaji Ahmad Sa’id Kangire, announced plans to set up a committee to oversee the disbursement of educational donations made during the association’s Annual General Meeting, aimed at strengthening community involvement in addressing education needs.
