He recalled that their time, education and health are the priorities of the government and followed by other important projects and programmes that will enhance the development of Nigeria.
He appealed to leaders to look into education sectors and restructure the necessary with a view to have another set of great generations.
Government college Birnin Kudu which was established over 60 years back had graduated prominent Nigerians which includes the governor of Kano Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, former governor of Jigawa state Dr. Sule Lamido among other prominent personalities.
Yet the school needed renovation and a conducive learning atmosphere that includes Hostels, classrooms, laboratories, roads among other critical infrastructures.

Along the line, president of the association Alhaji Ja'afar Usman Muhammad (Turakin Gaya) in his speech, said Government college Birnin Kudu today accommodates over 2000 students, the current numerical strength is enough to appreciate the numerous challenges facing the school.
He said the aim of the association is to inculcate unity and brotherhood amongst the members and principally support the school to maintain its excellent standard in educational and human development.
