The Katsina Lawmaker Who Sent His Children To A Public School

I read this on Governor Aregbesola's wall. I find it a beautiful story of selflessness and thought to share..

Discovering and empowering the "golden eaglets" of Kastina

The Katsina State Minority Leader in the state house of assembly, Hon Abdullahi Mahuta had this touching story to share with us.......

Last week after the Sallah break, my two children, who I transferred to a public school in Katsina, said they would not go back to school with their canvas and sandal shoes. They insisted that they would only be wearing bathroom slippers to school because all their friends in the school are using same to school and that some come to school without shoes .

Initially I told their mother to allow them to use the slippers, but my little daughter advised: "Father, pls buy sandals for all the pupils in the school so that my brothers can also wear sandals". I thought I could not buy sandals for all the pupils in that school. I called the headmaster and asked him the number of students in the school. He told me they are about 800. After a rough calculation, I realized that it will cost about N230,000 only to buy a pair of sandals and white socks for every child in the school.

Alhamdulillah! Yesterday, by the will of Allah, I bought and distributed the sandals for all the 800 children in the school. And today we are also in sha Allah, we are going to distribute for all the students of another primary school at Tsamiya mai Lamba village, at Gora ward in Malumfashi LGA.

Just imagine, if only the 34 members of KTHA, 34 LG chairmen and the about 40 commissioners and SAs will do the same, over 100,000 pupils would be saved from the problems of (Sanyi, Kaya da kusoshin da ka iya ji ma yara ciwo) meaning thorns and cracked legs

I therefore call on you the people to insist that all public office holders enroll their children into public schools to be friends, help, give hope and play together with the children of the poor. among us.

Attached is his picture, putting on sandals for one of the pupils..we are indeed proud of this scion of the APC
