If we want to make progress, we must ensure that we pick the best, if not, we shall continue to recruit the dull ones."_ Governor Babagana Zullum of Borno state. Facebook:- Bello Lukman

TUESDAY CORNER (121): Bizum Yadok

ASUU defied the court order to go back to work. I must admit that ASUU has no equal whenever it comes to fearlessly facing the government with its demands. If they give in now it could mean that the long strike was for nothing and the worse part is that they would lose their six months pay.
