CSR: KEYSTONE BANK RENOVATES SCHOOLS IN ZAMFARA, SAYS GOV. LAWAL’S FEATS IN 17 MONTHS SURPASS OVER 20 YEARS OF PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATIONS

Keystone Bank Limited has commended Governor Lawal’s giant strides in human capital development in Zamfara State.

The bank's Managing Director, Hassan Imam, led top management officials on a courtesy visit to the governor on Saturday at the Government House in Gusau.

A statement by the governor's spokesperson, Sulaiman Bala Idris, revealed that the bank is renovating Sarkin Kudu Primary School and Sambo Secondary School, all in the state capital, as part of its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).

While addressing the bank's management, Governor Lawal praised Keystone’s efforts and committed to making Zamfara State a favorable environment for all businesses.

“It is well known that we inherited a highly dysfunctional system in Zamfara State. However, this does not serve as an excuse for failing to perform. Instead, we are focused on finding the best ways to advance the state, and that is precisely what we are doing.

“Education is essential to everything we do in life today. It forms the backbone of a better society. In my administration, education is the second priority after security.

“I want to express my gratitude for this gesture. As I mentioned, this intervention will go down in history as a testament to your bank’s role in our success story.

"Insha’Allah, Zamfara will become an even greater state. I am committed to ensuring that we compete with other states in Nigeria in every aspect.

“I look forward to commissioning these schools shortly upon their completion. Thank you very much for this intervention.

Earlier, the Managing Director of Keystone Bank, Hassan Imam, disclosed that the management deliberated on the intervention area before deciding to focus on the complete renovation and overhaul of schools as part of its Corporate Social Responsibility.

“What you have achieved in just 17 months has surpassed what others have accomplished in over 20 years. You have excelled in education, health, and infrastructure. I don’t have enough time to list everything you have done for Zamfara State, but anyone visiting will witness the multi-billion-dollar construction of the metropolitan road.

“We are here to support you because we recognize the hard work you’re putting in. After much discussion, we decided to focus on education and chose two primary and secondary schools. We are conducting a complete renovation and overhaul of Sarkin Kudu Primary School and Sambo Secondary School, located in the state capital.

“As we speak, the contractors are already on site, and the work has commenced,” he said.

US President Joe Biden is set to make a painful address to the nation,* vowing a peaceful transfer of power to Donald Trump after his *political nemesis scored a crushing election win* over Kamala Harris.

In what is likely to be an agonizing moment for Biden, *he will speak in the Rose Garden of the White House at 11:00 am (1600 GMT)* to _"discuss the election results and the transition"_ to Trump's second term.

*The 81-year-old dropped out of the race against Trump in July* and handed the Democratic nomination to vice president Harris -— but is *now likely to see his legacy dismantled* after the Republican's stunning comeback.

*Biden is however apparently determined to draw a stark contrast with Trump*, whose refusal to accept his own 2020 election defeat by Biden culminated in the violent January 6, 2021 assault by Trump supporters on the US Capitol.

```TEXT:NEHEMIAH 2:9-11```

```KEY VERSE:``` _*"Then I came to the governors beyond the river, and gave them the king's letters. Now the king had sent captains of the army and horsemen with me" (NEHEMIAH 2:9).*_

*The famous English Baptist preacher; C. H. Spurgeon (1834 - 1892), said, "We are not to be alarmed when Satan hinders us, for it is proof that we are on the Lord's side and are doing the Lord's work. In His strength, we will win the victory and triumph over our adversary." He, in essence, gives a fitting reflection on today's passage.*

*Nehemiah came as a man prepared by God for the task of rebuilding the broken walls of Jerusalem. He had the burden to rebuild the broken walls of Jerusalem but the devil raised opposition through Sanballat and Tobiah, who determined to frustrate the work.*

*Nehemiah's case proves that there will be battles and opposition for everyone who will be significant in life and do great things for God's kingdom. He was not unaware that Satan would stir up opposing forces to halt God's purpose and project. But he prepared ahead through prayers. He also got the necessary backing of the king. Nehemiah and his team eventually accomplished the divine mission of rebuilding the walls amidst significant challenges, opposition and threats from the enemy. Success came because he was fully prepared and never wavered in his faith in God.*

*Believers must understand that challenges are normal routines of life because of the nature of the present world. In fact, the Lord Jesus Christ did not promise us an easy life that is devoid of challenges in the world. He only urges us to "be of good cheer; I have overcome the world" (John 16:33). He assures us of victory in every battle of life, despite all the tantrums and threats of our adversaries.*
