Middle Belt Forum tackles Abbas over location of four new federal institutions in Zaria

The Middle Belt Forum, MBF, Kaduna State chapter, has kicked against the citing of four new federal high institutions of learning in Zaria.

The MBF, which cried out over alleged marginalization of other parts of Kaduna, particularly Southern Kaduna, blamed the development on the Speaker of the House of Representative, Tajuddeen Abbas.

The Forum spoke in a statement issued on Sunday by its chairman, Mr Luka Binniyat.

“Such a development, though a positive one, falls short of our commendation and praise because it is insensitive and inconsiderate of other zones, especially the Middle Belt Area of Kaduna State (Southern Kaduna).

“The media is awash with news of their groundbreaking ceremony last Sunday, December 15, 2024, in Zaria where Speaker Abbas announced that N80 billion has been allocated for the construction of the schools which are expected to be completed within 18 months.

“The Schools are Federal College of Nursing and Midwifery; Federal College of Education, Federal Open University and Federal College of Legal Studies.”
