    Where is this industrious boy? How old is he? Kindly bring him to me in Kaduna. I will sponsor him to attend a boarding primary school and upon completion until he graduates from university by the Grace of God. @Dattijo @el_bonga

    This is 13-year-old Usman, an Almajiri boy from Maiduguri. Because he doesn’t like to beg, he learnt how to shine and repair shoes from his brother where he earns an average of N500 a day. When I asked him about school, he said: “even if I want to school, no one will sponsor me.”

    As elected CEO of KDSG, I take ultimate responsibility for every policy, action, even errors! That is why we do not always explain some of the nuances of state governance like the sharing of responsibilities, etc. Commentators must do better than tweet false, injurious ignorance!

    Just had breakfast in Abuja with my Harvard Kennedy School 2009 course mate, Mamo Mihretu, the Governor of the Ethiopian Central Bank. Recalled the good times at Harvard, long time ago. Alhamdulillah. - @elrufai

    I am pleased to announce that just yesterday, our State Executive Council approved six months maternity leave for our female public servants. This encourages the healthy development of infants through prolonged breastfeeding, among other benefits.
