Oga Jona you do am well. Shebi na so Obasanjo dey command you wen you be governor. After all na borno government assure the safety of the student to write the exam for Chibok when they ask them to write ythe exams in Maduiguri town. Yawa don gas now, governor and his commissioners of education don draw body back. The school is a state school and they should have known better not to risk the life of those students.
