Speaker Abbas Commits to Renovate Makarfi School

Tajudeen Abbas, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, visited his former school, Government Secondary School, Makarfi, Kaduna State, to commemorate 50 years since he enrolled in October 1976. During this visit, he pledged to renovate the school's facilities and install solar streetlights.

Accompanying him was Dr AbdulKadir Mu’azu Meyere, the Secretary to the Kaduna State Government, who praised Abbas for his commitment to the school’s development. Meyere also announced plans to renovate the school and donate a bus to enhance its facilities.

Abbas's visit was part of a broader initiative that included the groundbreaking for male and female hostels at Shehu Idris College of Health Sciences and Technology, which aims to address accommodation needs for over 1,000 students. Other projects inaugurated included a Makarfi bypass, a 20-bed primary healthcare centre, and a classroom block at LGEA Primary School, Tashar Yari.

Abbas urged residents to protect public facilities and ensure project standards are met.
