HRH the Gara of Donga was delighted to receive the alumni of Donga Science School, Taraba state, kitted in white school uniform, reminiscent of the past.
The Old Boys, led by Prof Auwal Muhammad Abubakar, the immediate past Chief Medical Director, Modibbo Adama University Teaching Hospital, M.A.U.T.H Yola, Adamawa state, having commended the Gara for receiving them, lamented the sorry state of the science school’s constraints depicted in the dilapidated laboratories, library classrooms, inadequate teachers and teaching materials.
Delighted to receive the old boys, HRH the Gara assured that he would do his monarchical best to engage the state government to have the school that produces scholars, leaders, politicians and professionals across the country and beyond, regain its glory as citadel of knowledge.
