Why is it only kaduna what of other states? PAN should donate equally.

I worked for nine years in that company before leaving. I can say categorically that PAN has been doing this for a long time. They have sound people with leadership qualities but I don't know why the company is still not growing as expected.

Complete waste of scarce resources because bandits will still attack the school and force all the parents to withdraw their wards.

Much as the north is educationally backwards, the trend of mass abduction of schoolchildren will worsen their number of out-of-school children, thereby taking them further backwards.

It will only take the grace of God to salvage the mess they have put themselves into. They will feel the impact of today's mistakes some 20-30 years from now.
