The northern socio-political organisation, Arewa Consultative Forum, has hailed Zamfara State for its exceptional performance in the 2020 National Common Entrance examination into Federal Government Colleges in the country.

This was disclosed in a statement titled, ‘ACF congratulates Zamfara over educational performance.

The forum urged other states in the northern part of the country to emulate Zamfara State, noting that education was the only way the region could catch up with other parts of the country.

The northern body said it was a thing of joy for the forum that Zamfara State came 14th, beating 22 other states in the examination.

Over the years, Zamfara had taken 37th position, but in the result of the just concluded 2020 National Common Entrance Examination, the state had the highest number of students from the north.
