Group Donates 30 Desks, Exercise Books, Others To Bauchi School

A Bauchi Based Non-governmental organisation, Kairos Initiative has donated nothing less than 30 seating desks to Birshi Gandu Primary School on Monday.
Speaking during the donation of the desks, Dr Moji Iheme, Executive Director, Kairos Initiative, said the organization also donated exercise books, pens, pencils and cleaners among others to the students.
According to her, the NGO embarked on a need assessment of the school and realised they were in dire need of the desks as there was none in the classrooms.
She explained that each of the desks would accommodate four pupils, making it 120 capacity seats.

“The initiative is doing what it does best. We came here to do what we call the need assessment and we discovered that there was no single seating desk for the children.
“We discovered that the school management and the pupils wanted the seating desk so dearly.
“You can imagine children going from primary school to secondary school and they never sat on desks. How are they going to write exams?
“So, we decided to provide them with these 30 desks and each one would accommodate four pupils and that makes like 120 pupils,” she said.

She said the NGO was also looking at how to fix the leaking roofs, adding that it would be done if the school management exhibited a high level of maintenance culture toward the desks provided.
Iheme hinted that the NGO would be visiting the school to see what’s happening to the desks, saying “the better they take care of them, the more we would be encouraged to do more”.
In her vote of thanks, Assistant Headmaster, Hasana Shehu, who expressed delight toward the gesture of the NGO, promised to take effective care of the desks.
Also, Mr Dabo Garba, Supervising Officer, Miri ll, Bauchi Local Government Area, appreciated the NGO for coming to the rescue of the school by providing the desks.
He called on the Headmaster to inform the Community Leader and members of the community on the need for all to join hands and maintain the facilities.

JUST IN: Court Orders IGP To Arrest Mahmood Yakubu, Ex-INEC Chairman

Despite his exit as the chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, the Federal High Court sitting in Osogbo, the Osun State capital, has again ordered the Inspector General of Police, Mr Kayode Egbetokun, to arrest the former INEC chairman, Prof Mahmoud Yakubu, for an offence relating to contempt of court.
The Court order came a few hours after Yakubu left office as the INEC chairman.
The Action Alliance, AA, had instituted a case before the court challenging INEC and its former chairman, Prof Yakubu, over their non-compliance with the judgment of the Court delivered by Justice Funmilola Demi-Ajayi in suit number FHC/OS/CS/194/2024.
In the said judgment, the court ordered INEC to put the names of the National Chairman of the Action Alliance, Adekunle Rufai Omoaje, and other members of the party’s National Executive Committee, NEC, on the INEC portal.
The Court also held that the names of all the state chairmen of the party be uploaded on the INEC portal.

The court held that the elective convention of the party held on the 7th of October, 2023 which produced Omoaje as the national chairman of the party and other NEC members of the party was authentic as it was properly monitored and supervised by officials of INEC in accordance with the party’s constitution and the electoral acts.
However, INEC claimed to have complied with the court judgment, but the party disagreed with the commission, as the name of Omoaje was yet to be uploaded on the commission’s website despite the orders of the Court.
Although the names of the state chairmen of the party under the leadership of Omoaje and those of the NEC members are already on the INEC portal, Omoaje’s name is yet to be uploaded as of press time, a development that the court frowned at.
The court order obtained by our correspondent dated 7th October, 2025, and signed by Mr O.M. Kilani on behalf of the Court Registrar reads in part, “it is hereby ordered that the Inspector General of Police shall cause the arrest and shall charge the defendant/judgment debtors for contempt and committal proceedings within seven days of this ruling.”
The court also awarded a cost of #100,000 against the judgment creditors.

JUST IN: Tinted Permit Enforcement Placed On Hold Due To Court Order – Police

The Nigeria Police Force said on Wednesday that the enforcement of the vehicle tinted glass permit has been suspended following a court order halting the exercise.
Spokesperson for the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command, SP Josephine Adeh, disclosed this during an interview on Africa Independent Television, AIT.

Adeh said, “Information reaching me from the office of the PRO is that the order has been received and the enforcement of the tinted permit is now on hold pending the court’s verdict”.
Disclosing that the directive to suspend enforcement would remain in place pending the outcome of the ongoing legal process, Adeh said, “We are waiting for the verdict. We are not against the courts, and we will continue to wait until we get a verdict”.
Speaking on public concerns about the purpose of the tinted glass regulation, Adeh explained that it was introduced for security reasons, noting that some criminal activities had been carried out using vehicles with darkened windows.

“The law was not made by us. We are enforcers. The policy was purely security-driven. Some criminals were using tinted vehicles to commit offences, making it difficult for law enforcement to identify suspects,” she said.
She dismissed claims that the policy was designed for financial gain, noting that all payments related to tinted permits are made directly into the Federal Government’s Treasury Single Account (TSA), not to the police.
