"This is Maga Model Primary School Danko, Kebbi State, where pupils are disgracefully forced learn sitting on the floor. In this pitiful condition, how does learning take place?

"Rehabilitation of the school was nominated in 2018 budget by Senator Bala Ibn Naallah. After N50bn ZIP fund was released, still no work has started! So, what happened to the money? Perhaps Bala Ibn Na'Allah may want to come online and respectfully explain to Nigerians", Nazir stated.
