The Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Sa’ad Abubakar III,

has admonished Muslim and Christian Clerics in
the country to always tell leaders the truth.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that
Abubakar spoke on Sunday in Tsamiya village in
Tureta Local Government Area of Sokoto State
when he inaugurated an Islamiya School
constructed by an indigene of the village who
wants to be anonymous.
Abubakar said: “Religious leaders should tell us
the truth.
“We should be told when we do the right thing
and we should be told when we go astray.
“This is better for us as such efforts should
guide us, rather than praise singing to us and
sycophancy.”
Abubakar also appealed to parents across the
country to endeavour to enrol their children in
schools at all levels.
He said: “Education is the best legacy we can
bequeath to our children and wards.
“It is also only with education that any society
can develop and without it, there will be no any
meaningful development.”

government for according top priority to the
education sector.
Governor Aminu Tambuwal, who was represented
by the Secretary to the State Government, Prof.
Bashir Garba, said his administration would
continue to accord priority attention to the
education sector.
