He acknowledged the foresight of the facilitator of the project and an old boy of the school, Major General Aliyu Idris.

Earlier, the Headmaster of the school, Kabiru Yusuf, described the renovation as a major turning point, adding that the school had for years struggled with dilapidated classrooms and a poor learning atmosphere.
He said that with the renovation, the level of enrolment and learning enthusiasm had already begun to improve.

In an address, the Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Wahid Shaibu, noted that the initiative reflects the Army’s evolving doctrine of people-centred security.
Represented by the General Officer Commanding 8 Division, Nigerian Army, Major General Bemgba Koughna, the Chief of Army Staff said the strength of the Army lies not only in firepower, but in the trust and cooperation of the people.

Commenting, the facilitator of the project and an old boy of the school, Major General Aliyu Idris, said the project was executed in line with the Chief of Army Staff’s directive for commanders to leave lasting legacies in their areas of responsibility.

The representative of the Sultan and Wazirin Sokoto, Professor Sambo Wali Junaid, described the project as a noble service to humanity and called for sustained collaboration between security agencies, traditional institutions, and government.
