By Bashir Bello

KATSINA – Governor Aminu Bello Masari of Katsina on Thursday while charging students to seize every positive opportunity at their disposal to improve on their education, said he cut grass to support himself in primary school.

Governor Masari said he has to cut grass to put breakfast on his table the following morning before going to school.

The Governor made this known during the maiden matriculation of about 136 students of the Katsina State Institute of Technology and Management, KSITM.

He urged the students to strive for themselves, utilise positive opportunities that comes their way positively instead of waiting for help to come from someone.

According to him, “On holidays get something doing. Sell sugarcane, maybe you need only N1,000 to start a business of sugarcane selling or Dates (Dabino) or Tiger nuts (Aya) selling. There are so many things you can do with your lives.

“When we were in school, a primary school, we went to cut grass. I have to cut grass if I want to break for the following morning. So it is possible, there are a lot of work to do but people feel so important that they are beyond certain jobs. Nobody is beyond means of supporting himself. You say you are too big, you cannot sweep the road, pick polythene bags but you go and beg. And if the person doesn’t give you, you abuse the person, which is the worst situation? Waiting for somebody,” he said.

He assured that government will continue to support the education sector in the state particularly that it is it first and topmost priority.

Earlier, the rector of the institution, Dr. Babangida Abubakar Albaba said the institute is fashion out to produce prosperous, self-reliant, innovative and entrepreneurial individuals.

“Here at KSITM, we will aid you to unlock your potentials and make you find your true self. The institute is designed to give you a smooth transition from the academic world into the larger society. You will become innovators and entrepreneurs after the completion of your courses of specialisation.

“You are therefore expected to utilise all the facilities made available to you such as E-library and other online resource materials provided by the institute,” Albaba said.

Meanwhile, the institute matriculated the 136 students in various courses of Networking and System Security (49 students), Software Engineering (41 students) and Banking Operations (46 students).

As it happens...

The fourth and final city is busy prepping to showcase its autumn/winter '17 collections to the fashion elite. Outside of the shows, the fash pack are crowding to be photographed in their finest attire. That's right, it's Paris Fashion Week.

Who rocked it better?

London Fashion Week: The highlights

A round-up of some of the weird and wonderful outfits to have come out of this season's London Fashion Week.

Designers have been showing their autumn/winter collections at London Fashion Week, which drew to a close on Tuesday. Many of the outfits in Burberry's show were inspired by the late sculptor Henry Moore, who often challenged conventional views on the female body, and focused on curves and unusual shoulder shapes.

It was good news for fans of flower power at the the Tata Naka presentation. The fashion house is named after the nicknames for its designers - identical twins Tamara and Natasha Surguladze.

If you plan to apply for the next Winter Olympics it might be worth having a look at Anya Hindmarch's latest collection, which had a distinct Alpine feel. The British designer used a great deal of fur for her autumn/winter show.

Roksanda's use of red was inspired by a room of Rothko paintings at the Royal Academy’s recent Abstract Expressionism show.

The theme for the Marques' Almeida show was diversity, with the range showing a wide variety of shapes and colours. Outfits by the designer duo have previously been worn by the likes of Rihanna

Canadian model Winnie Harlow, who has the skin condition vitiligo, walked the runway for British designer Julien Macdonald in one of his black gowns with cut-outs at the waist.

Mary Katrantzou was inspired by 1940s Disney film Fantasia in her latest collection, which saw many of the outfits explode with fantasy and colour. She said the movie "allowed me to dream"

Fearne Cotton took to the catwalk to model an all-white PVC outfit for Pam Hogg's autumn/winter collection.

Sisters GiGi and Bella Hadid both walked the runway for the Versus Versace, modelling outfits which had a futuristic look with elements of grunge.

The audience squeezed themselves into a narrow corridor for JW Anderson's show, which saw a huge array of styles, from ostrich feathers mixed with silk florals to shiny metalic dresses

You may remember Roland Mouret as the designer who came up with the famous Galaxy dress in 2005, which went on to be worn by the likes of Victoria Beckham and Cameron Diaz. He made a triumphant return to LFW to unveil his 20th anniversary collection - an homage to his design work so far.

One recurring theme so far this week has been gender fluidity. We've seen men modelling what would traditionally be seen as women's wear and vice versa. Many of the clothing brands have been designed to be deliberately unisex or androgynous. Outfits by Oliver Thame (left) and Robert Sanders were particularly noted for their lack of gender constraints.

It wasn't all about the outfits on the catwalk, however, as bags took centre stage at the Mulberry show

Five models aged between 47 and 65 staged a protest against the lack of age diversity on the catwalk. Retailer JD Williams supported the protest, which took place on The Strand.

There was one designer who could certainly not be accused of ageism - Simone Rocha. The Irish designer included several models in their seventies in her autumn/winter show.
