From Mustapha Salisu, Katsina
A six-classroom school constructed for the people of Tudun Badole in Dandume Local Government Area of Katsina State has been handed over to the local government and the benefiting community.
The project was initiated and sponsored by Hon. Adamu S. Ladan as part of his contribution towards improving access to education and supporting the development of the community.
Speaking during the handover ceremony held on Friday, August 21, 2026, Ladan described the project as a modest contribution towards education and community development.
“I consider this project a modest contribution on my part towards supporting education and the development of our communities. I believe that education is the foundation of societal development.”
He urged parents and community leaders to ensure that children, particularly girls, are given the opportunity to benefit from the new educational facility.
Ladan also called on the people of Tudun Badole to take ownership of the school by protecting and maintaining its facilities.
He further appealed to teachers to use the opportunity to provide pupils with quality education and proper upbringing, stressing that the future of Dandume, Katsina State and Nigeria depends on the children being raised today.
Ladan expressed appreciation to individuals and authorities whose support contributed to the completion of the project.
He specifically acknowledged the former Minister of Housing and Urban Development, Arc. Ahmed Musa Dangiwa, whom he said played a role in creating the opportunity for the project.
