Governor El-Rufai-Low UTME cut-off mark for admission into universities is making northern youths lazy

Governor El-Rufai: Nothing bleeds the heart other than seeing people take advantage of something. Or should I say taking something for granted?
Governor El_Rufai feels that students applying for universities in the north are lazy.

In Governor’s statement, Nasir El_Rufai has read that the low cut-off marked needed for admission into the northern universities via the Unified Tertiary Matriculation ExaminatioExamination (UTME) is making northern youth lazy.

Governor El_Rufia said this during the plenary session on “Rethinking Sub_National competitiveness” he stated that even though many think JAMB is building the nation with the different cut-off marks for different states, they are however dividing it.

Governor of Kaduna state also rhetorically asked if the north has caught up with people from other regions even though JAMB is giving them lower cut off marks.

This is what he said in a statement;

“The northerners are at advantage. The low JAMB cut-off mark is making northern youth lazy rather than encouraging them. Despite the advantage of education in Nigeria, we have the highest number of children out of school.

“For example, Joint Admissions Matriculation Board, (JAMB), gives different cut-off marks for different states and you say you are building a nation, no you are dividing it.

“I am from the north but we have suffered educational disadvantage and the JAMB has given us a lower cut-off mark to catch up, have we caught up? “It is making people lazy.”
On selecting leaders based on their ‘origin’, El-Rufai said; “This has become a big problem for Nigeria. Zoning in political parties cannot solve the economic problems we are facing. Selecting the best person to get the job done will benefit everyone.

“The best we can do is to give everyone an equal opportunity.”

He called for federal police and Judiciary to be reformed to improve their effectiveness.

Governor El_Rufia also added:

“Implement state policing. Some governors have more influence on the police than others; state governors cannot control security actions except there is an order from the IGP. This makes state governors handicapped in serious matters.

“Same is applied to the judiciary system. We are the only country in the world that is running a federal judiciary system. This has exposed the sector to inefficiency. There are decisions for states to take, for example, land issues, traditional issues.”

The pastor explained in an Instagram video that, despite what is commonly believed, men need women by their sides in addition to their marriages.
He disclosed the four key reasons for side chicks’ importance.

The first explanation offered by the pastor was stupidity. He said that having side chicks is the finest way for a man to look dumb.

In response to a question about why guys are still searching for Coke after they have one, he pointed out that Coke in a bottle, can, or plastic is still Coke.

He identified premature death as the second reason why males require a side chick.

According to the preacher, a guy who wishes to pass away too soon must overwork his heart and stuff his body with unnecessary items.

He mentioned shame and embarrassment as additional reasons. A man who enjoys dishonor and shame, according to him, needs a side chick because that’s what he will eventually get.

According to him, a man should only require a side chick if he enjoys difficulty and turmoil.
