In the countdown to the Edo 2024 elections, the promise of a transformative era hangs in the air, and at the forefront of this vision stands a seasoned leader, General Charles Airhiavbere, rtd, mni, the foremost aspirant for the gubernatorial ticket of the All Progressives Congress, APC in the State.

And as the call for support and nomination echoes across the state for a man of GCA’s calibre, his supporters see in him, a governor who can guarantee a promising future marked by peace, robust infra-structural development, and unparalleled economic prosperity.

With his extensive military background, GCA is coming with a wealth of experience and a strategic vision that positions him as the ideal candidate to usher in a new era of peace in Edo State. His, is a commitment to security and stability that will lay the foundation for a harmonious environment where citizens can thrive and businesses can flourish.

The Edo future that GCA envisions is one where its infrastructure is not just a testament to progress but a catalyst for economic growth. In essence, General Charles Airhiavbere’s agenda will prioritize infrastructural development, promising to build the foundations of tomorrow. From modern transportation networks to state-of-the-art health and educational institutions, Edo is set to witness a transformation that will elevate the quality of life for its residents.

GCA stands as a champion for inclusive growth in the realm of economic development. He is coming with a comprehensive economic policy package aiming to create opportunities for teeming population of youthful school leavers and other able-bodied residents to ensure that prosperity is not confined to a select few. With a focus on attracting investments and fostering entrepreneurship, Airhiavbere is poised to lead Edo into an era of unprecedented economic prosperity.

Therefore the call for all well-meaning APC faithful in Edo to support and nominate GCA, is not just a political plea; it’s a rallying cry for the very concerned and ever vibrant and forward looking citizens of Edo to actively participate in shaping the destiny of our state. By supporting GCA, it means endorsing a leader with a proven track record, a visionary who envisions Edo as a beacon of progress and prosperity.

The choice is clear – and the future led by GCA promise a new dawn of peace, infrastructure development, and economic prosperity.

Two of the students, Adamu Adamu, Mustapha and Haruna impressed the commissioner for their presence in school in the first day of resumption while Abdullahi Musa marvelled her for his reading ability and comprehension.

According to the commissioner, the gesture was to appreciate their determination to learn as well and motivate other students to emulate them.

Ahmed Sulaiman, the commissioner disclosed that the Bauchi State government was working with stakeholders from the Misau Emirate to fine-tune modalities of temporarily accommodating the students of Federal Science Technical College, Misau at its Science Secondary School Misau.

She said the college made the request in a letter to the ministry stating that the facility given to them could no longer accommodate their students population, hence the resolve to convene the stakeholders meeting to fine-tune ways of sharing the facility for the betterment of the state.

She disclosed that government science secondary school Misau, one of the best in the state in terms of befitting facilities has the capacity to accommodate up to five thousand students, but currently houses about three hundred students.
