The Federal Government has commended Borno Governor, Prof. Babagana Umara Zulum, for the significant investment he has made in providing educational infrastructure in the state, describing him as “a pacesetter.”

Minister of Education, Dr Maruf Tunji Alausa, gave the commendation yesterday during the official commissioning of two newly constructed mega schools in Maiduguri, funded by the Zulum administration.

Kulogumna Mega Primary School and Government Day Secondary School, Kaleri, were equipped with laboratories, libraries and sports facilities designed to provide a quality learning environment for thousands of students.

The minister performed the symbolic tape-cutting to commission the schools, which have 48 and 60 classrooms respectively.
