The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has alleged that Yobe State’s public education system is in ruins.
ADC chieftain in Yobe State, Professor Muhammad Ibrahim Jawa, made the allegation while briefing newsmen in Damaturu on Wednesday.
He lambasted the state government over its “failure to address the prolonged challenges of the education sector in the state”.
According to Jawa, many public schools lacked sufficient teachers, teaching and learning materials. He claimed that several classes are in decay.
“Our classrooms are in decay, teachers are demoralized and the next generation is being denied a future. Our public education system is worse than it was in the 1950s”, he alleged.
Jawa assured that the ADC will address the issues in the education sector.
“Our coalition-under the African Democratic Congress (ADC) is committed to building a new political culture rooted in fairness, inclusion, merit and accountability.
“We call on all well-meaning citizens of Yobe and across Nigeria young and old, men and women to rally behind this movement. Together, we can restore dignity to leadership and rebuild the hope of our people,” he added.
