Following our earlier visit to Tungan Nasara LEA Primary School, in Abuja, the ADC Chairmanship candidate for Abuja Municipal Area Council (AMAC) in the February 2026 local council election, Dr Moses Paul, agreed with me that as he continues his tour around communities, I will often go with him to some dilapidated schools and healthcare facilities. On Tuesday, while in Anambra State, I received a call from Dr Paul of a public primary school in his constituency that was in a deplorable condition, and he wanted us to visit the school together on Wednesday, 15th October 2025, which I obliged. We visited LEA Nursery and Primary School, Kapwa, a community on the outskirts of Abuja. What we saw was not conducive to learning. The school without chairs for teachers, without toilet facilities for pupils and with classroom furniture in a completely dilapidated state. Education remains the bedrock of every progressive society. It is deeply troubling that a school with over 200 children operates under such poor and inhumane conditions. I assured the school community that I would personally support efforts to give the school a facelift. The most important investment any nation can make is in its children. When we invest in basic education, we invest in the foundation of our national development and collective future. I commend Dr Moses Paul (@Drmopaul) for taking the initiative to go around his communities, engaging directly with the people and experiencing their realities. That is what leadership should be. I have always believed that leadership begins with presence, empathy, and responsibility. Dr Moses Paul is demonstrating that same spirit. A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO
