Many of the pupils were in a panic state, you could see that they were very terrified. However, immediately after we brought them in, they were attended to by doctors, nurses and the various specialties.
“We brought in clinical psychologists who could work on them to allay their fears. They were given the initial resuscitations, including rehydration; they were given fluids and some who needed oxygen were given oxygen.
“After they had stabilised a bit, they were even given food. Now, they are much better, we will still carry out a few investigations to fully appraise their situation,” the CMD said.

The call was made in his birthday message, released by his Director of Communications, Malam Abdulrahman Aliagan. In his message, Ajia emphasized the urgent need for sociopolitical and economic reforms to address the myriad of challenges facing the nation towards paving the way for a brighter future for all Nigerians.
With a firm belief in the transformative power of effective governance and sustainable economic development, Ajia firmly believes that the problems the nation is facing are surmountable, maintaining that the problems are primarily sociopolitical and economic in nature, as such if adequately and effectively addressed would bring succour to the people.
Furthermore, Ajia highlighted the importance of cohesive and strategic interventions to steer the nation towards sustainable development.
“As I celebrate my birthday, I present to you a vision for a Nigeria that thrives on the principles of justice, accountability, and inclusive growth,”.
Ajia pointed out that the solution to Nigeria’s problems lies in leadership while expressing deep concerns on the quality, sincerity, commitment, and patriotism of those in leadership positions. Ajia, however, urged citizens not to be overwhelmed but rather take charge of their own destiny.
The Ilorin-born politician said, “We still have the power to make things better for ourselves, our families, and our communities, despite leadership challenges. We must raise our voices, take action, and work together to build a better Nigeria.”
He called on Nigerians, especially the people of Kwara State, to embrace their collective power and strive for positive change.

Funab President urges Nigerians to raise their voices on issues affecting their communities, take action through volunteerism and community service, support local businesses and initiatives that can promote development while embracing their collective power to work together for positive change.
He therefore advised Nigerians to share their thoughts and ideas on how to build a better Nigeria using the hashtag #NigeriaWeDeserve. “Let us work together to create a brighter future for all.”
As a respected business leader and philanthropist, Ajia’s commitment to Nigeria’s development is evident. His birthday serves as a reminder that individuals can make a difference and contribute to the country’s growth.
Ajia’s vision for a prosperous future hinges on the collective efforts of all Nigerians, and he calls for unity and collaboration across sectors to implement these solutions effectively.
