Binji (Sokoto) – The Chairman of Binji Local Government of Sokoto, Alhaji Umaru Danhabi has advised parents to give priority to the education of their children.
Danhabi gave the advice on Saturday in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Sokoto.
He said this will go a long way to support government initiatives for declaring state of emergency in the educational sector of the state.

Danhabi also urged the council staffers and residents to always be law abiding and support government’s policies and programmes.
