STEER CLEAR OF MY STATE, ALIYU WARNS WIKE

Niger State governor, Dr Babangida Aliyu, has warned the acting Minister of Education, Mr. Nyeson Wike, to stay clear of his state, saying the affairs of the education sector are run by riff raffs.
Reacting to the comment allegedly made by the minister on the state of education in Niger State, Aliyu, while signing into law the state University of Education bill, yesterday in Minna, said the minister was not fit to make such uncomplimentary statement about the state.
He said if Wike feels that he can fight his state governor, Amaechi Rotimi, he cannot fight other state governors in the country that way, hence, he should desist from such.
“I don’t know when he got into education; education is not for riff raffs, he should be warned. If he thinks he can fight the governor of his state, he cannot fight other governors, he should take his time,” Aliyu warned.
