SOUTHERN KADUNA: El-Rufai talks too much, Doing nothing to stop Killings – APC Chieftain

-

A Chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Alhaji Isa Ciroma, has debunked Governor Nasir El-Rufai’s claim that the wanton killings and destruction of lives and property in Southern Kaduna is connected to the 2011 post-election violence.

Ciroma denied the claim while fielding
questions from journalists in Kafanchan,
stressing that the killings in Southern Kaduna had nothing to do with the 2011 post-election violence that was fought in many parts of Northern Nigeria.

“There is no record of Fulani herders from Mali or elsewhere coming to Southern Kaduna as Governor El-Rufai claimed. The Fulani I know in Southern Kaduna are the Kachechere people.

“The Fulani men they said intruded in
Southern Kaduna, l don’t know them. I have not seen them and I don’t talk to them. They could be there but I don’t see them,” Ciroma added.

“l am 60 years of age and l have been living in Southern Kaduna. If there is anything like foreign Fulanis in the area at that time, l should know but there was nothing like that.

“To the best of our knowledge, there is no any strange Fulani that came from Mali or Senegal and was killed,” Ciroma said. Ciroma also accused Governor Nasir El-Rufai of talking too much with nothing to show for it.

He explained that the governor was not
working to ensure that normalcy returns to Southern Kaduna, adding, ”I don’t want to talk too much about this Man (el-Rufai). He talks too much on security and we have not seen anything good in the area.

“I am a victim of the attack in Southern
Kaduna and I am neither a cattle rearer nor a farmer but my younger brother was shot at the chest and he died during one of the attacks by herdsmen. This was caused by the nonchalant attitude of our security men.”

Ciroma stressed that if the security agencies had gone to the hideout of the terrorists killing Southern Kaduna villagers, “I believed my brother would have been saved. It is glaring that the security agencies have not been asked to do their job, which is why we are in this mess.”

He maintained that the security challenges in Southern Kaduna has been politicize by selfish politicians, stressing that the governor of Kaduna state was aware that terrorists were camped inside the forest.

“But governor El-Rufai has not taken any proactive measure to ensure the terrorists are cleared. If the terrorists’ camps are cleared, it will nip the attacks going on,” he lamented.

In this unit, you read about John Dewey’s concept of education, his philosophy of education, and aims of education. You also read about his curriculum and discipline. In this unit, you shall move another step further to look at the concept of curriculum, curriculum organisation, the nature of school subject. This will help you further to understand the course. The Concept of Curriculum One of the basic questions in education which must be asked by every school, every classroom teacher in every age and every country is “what should be taught? What should the student learn? And often it entails how it should be taught so as to produce the desired effect? You should know that since the early decades of the twentieth century, scholars have attempted to define curriculum. Until now, there is no unified or unanimously accepted definition. A classical definition of curriculum by Stanley and Shores states that curriculum is “a sequence of potential experience set up in the school for the
