Act of Kindness: Zulum rewards 31 years long-serving schoolteacher with wads of cash (Video)

Governor of Borno State, Babagana Umara Zulum Governor of Borno State, Babagana Umara Zulum

Governor of Borno State, Babagana Umara Zulum has rewarded a primary school teacher, Mrs. Obiageri Mazi with lots of cash following her 31 years of service in the Borno state.

This occurred when the State Governor paid an unscheduled visit to Shehu Sanda Kyarimi 2 Primary School to see how he could improve the infrastructure.

He was surprised to meet only her on the school premises when he came for the visit and took special interest in her after discovering she worked as a teacher for 31 years, leaving Abia state to serve in the state.

After probing and discovering she was NCE certified with a paltry sum of N35,000, he presented her with bundles of cash and prayed for her.

Zulum affirmed to take care of her and never leave her even after retirement.

Here is the post culled from the Governor's Facebook page:

"Yesterday, as early as 6:30 in the morning, I paid an unscheduled visit to Shehu Sanda Kyarimi 2 Primary School to see how we can improve the infrastructure therein and I met one teacher, Mrs. Obiageri Mazi, an Igbo Christian from Abia State who served for 31 years in the Borno state. Although it was very early, I met none of the teachers and their pupils on ground but she alone.

Her gender, tribe, religion or state of origin does not surprise me but her passion, enthusiasm, dedication, commitment and above all her patriotism surprised me a lot.

As a Government, we are mightily proud of her!" the post read.
