APC chieftain advises FG to use recovered looted funds to develop education

Alhaji Gambo Danpass, a Chieftain of All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kano state, has advised President Muhammadu Buhari to use the money recovered from looted funds to develop the education sector.

Danpass gave the advice in an interview with the reporter in Kano on Saturday. He said there was need for the Federal Government to use the recovered money to promote education particularly in the area of science and technology.

“The Federal Government should channel the money in the education sector especially science and technology; government needs to encourage students to study sciences,” he said. He said that part of the money should also be expended on the provision of quality healthcare services.

“We hope the government will also use part of the recovered money to improve the healthcare delivery system in the country,’’ he said. Danpass, who is a traditional title holder of Dan-saran Kano, called on Nigerians to support President Mohammadu Buhari in his war against corruption.

“The war on corruption will never succeed if Nigerians do not give the government the necessary support and cooperation,’’ he said. The APC chieftain called for the establishment of a national elder’s forum to advice the President on issues of national interest.

“The forum should consist of respected, trust worthy elder statesmen with proven record of integrity selected from the six geo-political zones,’’ he said.
