Dan Bello recently presented a damning report, focusing on a single neglected school in Kaduna, to criticize former Governor Nasir El-Rufai’s education reforms.
His research paints a bleak picture, but it fails to acknowledge the thousands of schools that were rehabilitated under El-Rufai’s administration.
While El-Rufai overhauled 5,000 schools, providing better infrastructure and learning conditions, Bello’s report focuses solely on one institution’s shortcomings, suggesting it represents the entire state’s education system.
Critics argue that Bello’s analysis ignores the broader success of El-Rufai’s reforms, which improved access to education for many children in Kaduna State.
Adding to the controversy, El-Rufai previously shared a receipt showing how Dan Bello had requested an interview, sparking questions about the true motives behind this recent report. Although Dan Bello claims the research is not personal, many believe it is a calculated attempt to undermine El-Rufai’s legacy while deflecting the failures of past governors.
Is this a genuine critique or a personal vendetta disguised as research? The debate continues.
