        When some of us said it wasn't only about sacking teachers and replacing them but putting systems in place, we were seen as haters. What use is recruiting a new set of "graduates" who do not defer from those sacked?

        I have personally intervened, trained and provided teachers with curriculum, resources and a mentoring platform. The federal @AsoRock did not carry out my implementation strategy to other states. What a shame!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0qjAscTem3I …pic.twitter.com/AHJ9lvmxKv

        - it’s okay to sack incompetent teachers but have they employed competent ones or students are just left hanging? It’s not like there’s a job waiting for them after getting through school anyways.

        You mean Kaduna State. A state of over 6 million people, more than Wales and Northern Ireland put together.

        The terrible price of quota system and lower cut off marks. Nemesis is real. The North will live with this blight for ever.
