Fru Jonathan’s books & pens woo students back to school

Parents, Guardians and students in Santa Sub Division of the North West region have been implored to shun all anti school resumption calls and prepare for the next academic year.

                This was during a Back to School campaign championed by some Santa elites led by Fru Jonathan, Inspector General at the Ministry of Public Contracts in charge of Performance and Evaluation on August 18, 2016 in Santa.

                With some few students dressed in their school uniforms and all head teachers and principals of schools within Santa, Fru Jonathan handed over didactic material comprising books, pens and pencils to head teachers and principals on behalf of the students and pupils was an opportunity for the event organizers to call for effective school resumption in Santa come September 4, 2017.

                In his opening remarks, the Mayor OF Santa Council, Moses Khan educated the people on what government has done so far to solve the Anglophone crisis.

                “If you look around, you will see that all the demands made by the lawyers and the teachers have been met so there is no need why schools should not go” he said.

                Like him, Fru Jonathan citing Nelson Mandela who called for children to go to school even during the dreaded apartheid insisted that parents should send children to school come September 4th.

                ”They have been armed with their bags, pens, rulers and pens. They know that school shall start. Santa is made up of very intelligent people and we can never be fooled, reason why our children must return to school. We as the elite are united and since the start of the crisis, there is nothing like ghost town here. The schools that struggled with the crisis have had some encouraging results. I seriously think that the threats that are coming shall not reach Santa because the people have said no to ghost town and yes to back to school” said Jonathan.

                The event organizers announced that the didactic materials shall not be kept in school campuses but at the gendarmerie brigade post justifying that they have received threats that the books shall be burnt.

                The material donations worth FCFA5million is annual event but this year’s edition had an additional coloration as it was used by the elites to counter mass school boycott  which have been championed by some unknown individuals who have been instilling fear by burning schools and threatening students, teachers and school administrators.
