His Excellency, Peter Obi Visits Kaduna state for condolence and more benevolence to Almajiri school.
He wrote below :
“Yesterday, I and my very dear brother, Sen. Datti Baba-Ahmed were in Kaduna to personally pay our condolences to a dear elder brother and Former Governor of Kaduna State, Ahmed Makarfi, and his family, on the death of their son, Faisal Makarfi.
We prayed to God to console the family over such a sad occurrence and grant them, and all of us, the fortitude to bear the sad and irreplaceable loss.
May Almighty Allah, who called Faisal home at this time, forgive his sins and grant him Aljanna Firdausi. May God continue to protect and bless the Makarfi family, always.
From there, we visited one of the almajiri schools in the State, which I had been supporting, to see the progress they have so far made. Earlier in the year, when I first visited the school, I found out that they had very dilapidated infrastructure, no functional toilet system, and no source of water supply, which were very important to them.

I then made a financial donation towards providing these critical facilities for the children.
Arriving there today, I was happy to see that by my earlier support, their infrastructure has greatly improved, they now have a very decent toilet system with 2 functional boreholes.
Being impressed with this achievement, I donated another N5 million to the school and assured them of my support in ensuring that the children continue to enjoy a better education, which is their currency for future opportunities in life.
We remain committed to building a Nigeria that gives our children the right training and empowerment to access brighter opportunities in life. A New Nigeria remains POssible! -PO
