Senator Shehu Sani
Senator
representing Kaduna Central senatorial district, Comrade Shehu Sani,
yesterday donated books worth over $30,000 to the National Library and
medical students from the Kaduna State University (KASU).The Senator said the donation was just the first phase of the $100,000 worth of books he planned to donate to the library and schools in his immediate constituency.
He said, the donation became necessary owing to the fact that the education sector of Nigerian economy had suffered neglect in recent times.
While making the presentation at National Library, the activist turned politician said, “We have a duty as elected representative of our people. We need to take education seriously. Those who have passion to learn and those who want to research must be encouraged. You are what you read and if you don’t read what is new, your thought and vision becomes obsolete.
“Library in Nigeria has for a long time been neglected. A library is a temple of learning where you come and get updated knowledge.
“I have spent about 30,000 dollars on these books. Few are available within the country.’
