What really is Governor Kwakwanso (and the Kano State Government) up
to?
Without doubt, Kano State and indeed all States in Nigeria require all
the man-power they can muster and train, wheresoever, to assist in the march
towards State, regional and or national development.
The need for man-power in the area of health, infrastructural
development, education and the sciences can surely not be faulted.
If Kano State was expending its funds to train Medical Doctors,
Nurses, Medical Lab. Scientists and other health-sector specialists, Engineers
(Electrical, Mechanical or whosoever , Computer specialists, Teachers, and a
plethora of other areas relevant to societal development, one would not really
be worried.
In a State suffering from an abysmal lack of manpower, the State
government chooses to train pilots - in of all places Jordan!!!
Kano State has no Airline! So the ruse of training Pilots for its
airline is non-existent!
There are less than 5 airplanes registered to Kano State indegenes!
What in heaven’s name is Kano State planning to do with 100 pilots?
Is Kano State preparing its own Air-force? For which war?
The fact that Kano remains one of the hot-beds and strongholds of the
Boko Haram insurgency in Nigeria ought to suffice to allow well meaning
individuals pause to think.
Did authorities sufficiently vet the persons attending this training
for fundamentalist views?
Is there probably something the Nigeria Ministry of Defense is not
being told about the true intentions of the Kano State Government?
Is there something the world ought to know about Kano State funding
the training of 'pilots'?

Pilots in formation.
None sense, have you asked why pilots are being trained in Niger Delta in spite of similar, if not worst situation of manpower and the militancy there? Why don't you trust others but you want to be trusted? Please be objective in the way you talk and reason.
ReplyDeleteAudu Dakas, you likewise allude to the same issue you erroneously refer to as 'none sense'.
ReplyDeleteThe question yet remains, is Kano State (and probably what it represents) in a preparatory mode for something more sinister?
Free mind indeed! The North has been ridicled for its slow rate of development but when it makes an attempt to empower its people it is accused of having ill motives. When ex militants(people with history of violence where sent abroad for training as pilots the Niger Delta was not accused of building its airforce, even when the names of the institutions they where sent to was not made public. Kano citizens are being sent to a civil aviation institution in a country that as far as i am concerned has not been listed as a terrorist state. Please stop being bias.
ReplyDeleteEdward, there is no bias here. If the same so-called Niger Delta militants were given training's as pilots, it is equally suspicious. However, you do realize that in most of the cases, the purported training of the ND militants was just a ruse to steal public funds as quite a lot of them were deported from wheresoever they were sent because the fees were not paid by the Nigerian government.
ReplyDeleteIs the Kano State move retaliatory?
Is it really in preparation of a probable commencement of hostilities as you and Audu seem to insinuate?
Two wrongs do not really make a right!
