Trillions Spent Buying Nose Masks, Hand Sanitizers Over Covid-19 Could've Solved ASUU Issue -Governor Bello


“Like I used to say; I’ll return to the days when I was a loner, I think I’m still a loner on the issue of no COVID-19. The trillions spent buying nose masks and hand sanitizers, could have solved this ASUU issue, but that’s not.

“I don’t think they [ministers] are representing Mr. President well. This is a man that cares so much about education, and even children during that lockdown were being fed at home.

“Those who Mr. President entrusted to handle this protracted issue are not doing justice to it.” -Governor Yahaya Bello, Kogi State
