“As the capital of the former northern region, Kaduna continues to lead on several matrix. Kaduna currently has the highest WAEC pass rate in the north and second highest IGR generation in the northern part of the region after Kano” he noted.On the way forward for the region, Dangote called on the 19 northern states to identify areas of comparative advantage and provide information and data on the opportunities available in their states in order to attract private sector investors.

vanguardngr If they give them Education, to them they won’t have people subservient to them again. They love the Master-Servant forever way of life. Pitiful. May God open the eyes of these blind servants to believe in Education for a change.

vanguardngr And if not damd corrupt people that takes turns to go to Asorock that keeps elevating dangote, he could have been one of the poor persons in the north east. How can an importer and a cement Berger be the richest black man. The system in Nigeria is beyond corrupt.

vanguardngr Hmm..my brother Daango! that is how we see am oooo!!! just imagine what I will do to help these people if heavens gave me just half of your kind of wealth? 😉😁

vanguardngr Give them good education. That's the first step.

vanguardngr At least the same Dangote they've been bragging about is the one telling them the truth. It should be more than 60% anyway

vanguardngr Emir Sanusi said so and he was almost crucified, I wonder what they would do to Dangote since he is not employed by any of them.

vanguardngr same place have the richest black man .. and most number of billionaire in Nigeria.. So it's very simple to change or lower the poverty rate there

vanguardngr Bkox, you leaders from the northern axis of the country failed your people, you believed in RANKADEDE chanting by them & continue to humiliated them 'masses'

vanguardngr Even when they have been the ones in power for decades..SHAME!!!!!!!

vanguardngr Opon all ur greediness for leadership. Shame

vanguardngr What are you doing about it

vanguardngr Tell them to have only the number of children they can cater for. That's the only way to reduce their poverty

vanguardngr No be lie

vanguardngr 60% of them voted for Buhari

vanguardngr Ur zone
