Hadiza El-Rufai, wife of the former governor of Kaduna State Nasir El-Rufai, has urged parents and guardians not to give up on their children, stating that she did not start as a good student.
Mrs El-Rufai stated this in a post on X (formerly Twitter)
following the viral video of a teacher, Stella Nwadigo, assaulting a
three-year-old pupil, Abayomi Michael, during a numeracy lesson.
The disturbing footage, which surfaced on social media,
shows the female teacher at Christ Mitots School located in the Ikorodu area of
Lagos violently smacking the young child for struggling with the lesson. The
video sparked widespread outrage, leading to the teacher’s subsequent arrest on
Wednesday.
In a statement, the school management condemned the teacher’s actions, describing them as unacceptable.
The institution assured the public that the teacher would
remain suspended until the investigation was concluded.
To encourage parents and guardians, El-Rufai’s wife
published her 1964 report from Provincial Girls’ School in Kano which showed
she struggled at school at first.
One of her results showed she scored five out of 50.
“I didn’t start out as a good student. Don’t give up on your
kids,” she wrote on Wednesday.
The former Kaduna First Lady also published a letter from
the management of Shekara Girls Primary School in Kano asking her parents to
pay her school fees (£2) for the 1970/71 session.
