He said if the North does not put its house together and come together to bury it differences it will not forge ahead.
According to him, “To me, what I think is the most important that needs to be looked at is the economy of the North. The economy of the North is at zero percent. Those of us in financial sector know we are not going anywhere.
“Another sure way of building vibrant North is by providing our children with opportunities to acquire quality education. In Kaduna State, we have place Education as the second on our list of priority,” Governor Yero however stated.
