Rep. Abubakar Kabir Abubakar, through the Kabir Abubakar Bichi Foundation, has donated a total of 9.64 million Naira to students from Bichi as they resume school. The donation, a stipend of 20,000 Naira each, was presented to the students at a ceremony held on Saturday at the Federal College of Education (FCE) in Bichi.
The event, chaired by Dr. Habibu Usman Abdu, is part of Rep. Abubakar Kabir Abubakar’s longstanding tradition of supporting Bichi indigenes when they return to boarding school after every vacation.
In his remarks during the occasion, Rep. Abubakar Kabir Abubakar emphasized the importance of education and urged the students to focus on their studies. “We are here to remind you of the importance of your education. It is the key to a bright future,” he said. “We will continue to provide support to ensure that you succeed in your academic endeavors.”
The lawmaker also shared plans for the development of education within his constituency, revealing that he will soon commence the renovation of eight secondary schools. “Our aim is to ensure we get more engineers and doctors. The renovation of these schools will ensure that students are no longer sitting on the floor. We don’t want to see any roof wiped out from classrooms. The dignity of students is paramount, and that includes making sure they sleep comfortably in renovated hostels,” he remarked.
Rep. Abubakar Kabir Abubakar also highlighted that the federal government has allocated over 1.5 billion Naira for the renovation of Dawakin Tofa Science College and GSS Bichi. He further revealed that Dan Cin Cin Secondary School is among those set for renovation, along with Hagagawa Primary School, which will be reconstructed to match the standards of private schools attended by the children of politicians. “We are committed to uplifting education in the state, and we invite everyone to join us in this noble endeavor,” he added.
In addition to school renovations, Rep. Abubakar Kabir Abubakar shared that six other primary schools, including Chiranchi and Sabonlayi, will also undergo renovations.
The lawmaker also addressed the issue of teacher shortages in the area. “Apart from the 106 teachers currently serving in our schools, we have employed 200 more teachers, and their screening will begin soon,” he said. “We are doing this because we have a scarcity of teachers, and we are committed to solving this problem.”
The students, both male and female, expressed their gratitude for the support. “We are thankful for this gesture,” one student remarked. “It will help us greatly in our studies.”
Rep. Abubakar Kabir Abubakar concluded by thanking the committee for their dedication to education and their role in distributing the scholarships, reiterating his commitment to improving the educational landscape in Bichi and beyond.
