recently
Kaduna State
Government has applauded Promasidor Nigeria Limited for its career development
initiative, Harness Your Dream, which was held for the sixth time on Wednesday.
A pan-Nigerian project, the corporate social investment project this time took
place at Sardauna Memorial College in Kawo New Extension of the state capital.
The Permanent
Secretary of Kaduna State Ministry of Education, Mrs Nana Kande Bage, who
flagged off the state edition of Promasidor Harness Your Dream, described it as
“an excellent programme,” while she encouraged the students from six schools to
pay attention to the presentations.
She called on other
corporate organisations to toe the line of Promasidor, particularly in the area
of developing and empowering the youths. “Other corporate organisations should
follow the example of Promasidor as this kind of initiative will further boost
the interest of the students in schooling,” she admonished.
“I thank Promasidor
for choosing Kaduna State to be part of this programme. I feel highly delighted
that Kaduna is the sixth state where this initiative is being held,” the
Permanent Secretary further said, as she turned her attention to the students:
“I encourage you to make good use of this opportunity. If you allow such
opportunity to slip off your hand, you may not get it again. Work hard so that
you will excel in future.”
Earlier, the
Principal of the host school, Nura Hassan Yaro also expressed gratitude to
Promasidor for considering his school worthy of hosting the programme. He
stated his belief that it would make so much impact on the career choices of
the students of the schools selected.
Other schools
represented at the Kaduna edition of Promasidor Harness Your Dream are: Dalet
Girls Secondary School, Kawo; Government Girls Secondary School, Kawo;
Government Secondary School, Kawo, Government Secondary School, Badarawa and
Dr. Ahmed Mohammed Makarfi Government Secondary School, Hayin-Banki.
Popular actor and
producer Ali Nuhu Mohammed livened up the session as he made a cameo appearance
and related his transformation from being a Geography graduate to a personality
in the entertainment industry. Nuhu, who plays major roles in Hausa and English
movies, encouraged the students to follow their dream but without compromising
education. “Without solid education, you can hardly achieve anything,” he
counselled.
