Build the people. They build the nation. Human capital investments are the most profitable. They deliver the highest returns on investment. A skilled population is a productive one. Skills are treasures; they are the diamond mines of the new age. Nigeria is a country where there is an affluence of unsullied, diverse talents and abilities. Should we not tap and refine these raw gems to their purest and truest value?

The revelations in the CTC of the judgment of the Court of Appeal on the Kano governorship race is the clearest indication that politics rather than law is determining judicial outcomes on election litigation. The three-member panel of the Court of Appeal led by Moore Adumein had nullified Governor Kabir’s victory on the ground that he was not an authentic member of his political party, the NNPP. Consequently, the appellate court declared his closest challenger, Nasiru Gawuna, of the All Progressives Congress (APC), as the winner of the 18 March governorship election. However, the certified true copy (CTC) of the judgement issued by the Court of Appeal, states in some sections that Mr Yusuf won the election but also said the opposite in other sections, contrary to its clear ruling last Friday.
