Speaking at the commissioning ceremony, Hon. Bichi reaffirmed his commitment to improving education infra-structure, pledging to construct similar model schools in Danzabuwa (Bichi North), Saye (Bichi East) and Ci-ranci communities.
Teachers’ and students’ associations across the local government commended the lawmaker for his sustained investment in education and human capital development.
