END OF TENURE AS PROVOST JICORAS BABURA

HADEJIA A YAU!

On Tuesday, 15th July 2021, the then Jigawa State Governor appointed me as Provost of Jigawa College of Remedial Advanced Studies, Babura, for a first term of 4 years, renewable for a maximum of 8 years as enshrined in the college's law.

 Alhamdulillah, I announce my departure and handing over of my position as PROVOST with the successful 5 year Accreditation of the 10 ND Programs I introduced in the college after been appointed as provost, and a Historic First Certification Exams ever conducted in Jigawa State for 2 National Diploma on Health Science Courses (ND Public Health Technology and ND Epidemiology & Desease Control Technology) with over 120 external candidates from within and outside Jigawa State. This marks the end of my First Tenure of four (4) years as the Pioneer Provost of the College.

My special prayers and appreciation go to His Excellency Alhaji Muhammad Badaru Abubakar, Mni, MON, the Former Governor of Jigawa State and Minister of Defence of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, who found me worthy and appointed me to head this wonderful institution. This is after several attempts to include me in his government.

A special thanks go to my Leaders in struggle, the Former and the Present Chairmen of our great association, “HADEJIA INA MAFITA INITIATIVE”, in persons of DR ISAH BILLAMI and SIR. Dr Baidi Mohammed Gajo Yalleman and the entire Mafita family, who not only supported me but also made this wonderful journey a success and a reality. 

I also thank the pioneer Chairman and members of JICORAS Governing Council, Professor H.I. Bayero. And the present Governing Council of Hajiya Gaji Bello Hussain for their support, cooperation and giant efforts to uplift JICORAS in achieving academic excellence.

My Colleagues, the Management and other teaching staff of JICORAS, especially my former Registrar, Dr Rabiu Sale Kazaure, and the present Acting Registrar, and the entire management.  My appreciation also goes to my Deputy and Ag. Provost whom I handed over the affairs of the college to in person of Malam Bashir Ubale Gumel, who is always with me in every decision (soft or hard) I took in ensuring high academic standards and quality assurance in the system. 

I pray and hope that the person who will succeed me will do better than I to uplift the image and academic standard of the college.   I learned a lot, heard a lot, and saw a lot during these short but important and memorable four years in office as provost of this institution.

I thank the entire Babura Community and the CBO, Movement for Better Babura, who always supported me with positive advice as a community-based organization.

I always believed in the saying of the Premier of the Defunct Northern Region, Sir Ahmadu Bello, Sardauna, on the civil service

GOMBE EMIRATE.

HADEJIA A YAU!

GOMBE EMIRATE.. 

Gombe Emirate was the headquarters of the Emir of Gombe, who, like the Emir of Bauchi, was one of seven Fulani Emirs imposed on an existing Hausa ruling structure by the great 19th-century Fulani Islamic reformer, Uthman dan Fodio. Built as a new town in the 1920s, Gombe was systematically laid out on a grid pattern. The original site of Gombe town was at a place called Gombe Aba, 60 miles to the north on the River Gongola, but it had been condemned as unhealthy due to its proximity to a swamp and so an entirely new town had been constructed. The baked mud houses were large and well built.

Gombe Emirate comprises an area of 5,114 square miles, with a population of 159,831. Something approaching one fifth of these are Fulane the Bolewa, Terawa and Beri-beri are, as in order mentioned, the next most important tribes numerically speaking. (Vide ' Tribes, Bauchi Province.") The Emirate lies in the great bend of the Gongola River, which bounds it north and east, while on the west it marches with the Bauchi Emirate and to the south abuts on the Tangale Hills. The area is mostly a flat low sandstone plateau, lacking in water, most of the population living near the Gongola River.

For purposes of administration the Emirate is divided into four districts, Gombe, Nafada, Ako and Dukul. The Emirate and divisional headquarters have been moved from Gombe to Nafada (population 7,000), on the Gongola River, which is navigable as far as Nafada from July to October for barges, from early June to end of October for canoes. Steam craft have reached Gombe, but the passage is dangerous. Other big towns are Duku, Tongo, Gadam, and Debba Habe.

Buba Yero, the first Emir of Gombe, was by birth a fulane of the Tara clan, who came from Dilara. His father sent him to Kukawa to study, but he was captured by the Kerre-Kerre on the way thither, and spent three years as a slave at Potiskum, On obtaining his liberty he journeyed to Sokoto and spent his early years in study under Othman dan Fodio. When the Jihad commenced he took part in the capture of Zanfara and was given a flag, authorising a Jihad amongst the pagan states, the Sarkin Musulmi, giving him precedence over Bauchi, Katagum, Katsina, Zau-Zau, Zanfara and Hadeija.

This campaign was concurrent with that waged by his powerful neighbour, Yakubu, Emir of Bauchi, with whom he came into conflict at Beri-beri where he was defeated. Yakubu refused to allow him to extend his dominion west of the Gongola. Buba Yero, therefore, extended his conquests to the River Benue and deputed a lieutenant to rule over Muri town and the southern dominions as his vassal. This lieutenant was, however, subsequently killed by Buba Yero for failing to render obedience, but his son and successor succeeded in throwing off the yoke of Gombe. To the east of the Gongola, Buba Yero subdued the country as far as Adamawa, and then turned his attention to the north. It is related that he made a joint campaign with Messau, resulting in the capture of Birnin Bornu. In after years the Emirs of Gombe and Messau were constant allies. After this he moved to Nafada, and undertook the pacification of the Fika Bole, but met with considerable opposition. Kalam was broken later.

In 1824 he made his camp at a Filane settlement, where he founded Gombe town, and he lived to enjoy the fruits of his conquests till the mature age of seventy-nine. However, a large number of pagans subsequently revolted and successfully threw off the Filane yoke.
