Govt alone cannot fund education, says Kaduna gov

Kaduna State Governor, Uba Sani, says the government alone cannot shoulder the responsibility of educating children, stressing the need for stronger collaboration among stakeholders to advance the sector. NAN reported on Monday that Sani stated this while inaugurating a facility established by the Christian Academy Management in Ungwan Bulus, Sabon Tasha, Kaduna, at the weekend.

He described the newly inaugurated facility as a symbol of hope, opportunity and transformation, saying it reflected a collective commitment to strengthening society through education.
