Yobe State Governor, Mai Mala Buni, flew to the United Kingdom at the weekend, to seek for the help of some educational institutions for the educational reforms he has embarked in.
The institutions include University of Sussex, University of York and Crick Institute.
A statement by Mamman Mohammed, Director General, Press and Media Affairs to the State Governor, said that the governor, while in the UK, would have critical discussions with these three renowned in particular.
He said that the visit is meant to attract educational support to institutions in the state.
“It would be recalled that some of the institutions had in the past supported the Yobe State University with equipment and pledged to establish a research centre at the university. “Governor Buni would also take advantage of the visit to explore other areas of support to the ongoing reforms in education through the emergency declared on the sector.
“There is no doubt that the visit to these institutions would facilitate the state government’s drive to improve education in Yobe State.”
