Recently, Police College in Katsina had every cause to roll out drums to celebrate its success story. The import of the celebration can be better appreciated if one looks at the different prizes won months back by the college’s pupils, head teacher and the institution itself.

The Head teacher of the school, Malam M.B Hassan, in November 2007, at the annual conference of (police) force education officers, commandants, command education officer and head teachers held in Owerri, Imo State, received the best head teacher award of police children schools in the federation.
Barely two months after he shared Africa Role Model Leadership Gold award with two professors, the former first ladies of two states.

The prize prompted by his selfless service to humanity through enviable leadership style was bestowed on him and others by Africa International News magazine at Nicon Hilton Hotel Abuja.
The college first notable prize which arguably came as result of his leadership was the election of his pupil, Suleiman Ahmad, in July 2007 as the Speaker of children parliament of Katsina State.
To the parents, guardians stakeholders and well-wishers of the pupils and staff of the college, the feat of the college under its pioneer Head teacher, Malam M.B Hassan, would remain indelible in the months, if not, years ahead.

M.B., as he is fondly called, is a school head with a difference. Call him an achiever, and you would be striking the right cord.

Speaking on the occasion to mark the feat of the Head teacher, the head of North West Zonal Inspectorate of the police, Mr. Ojiogu, said he foresaw the "school as a flourishing gathering in the middle of the desert".

"We are celebrating the performance of an achiever", he declared.
He thanked the teachers, parents and guardians of the school for contributing to the achievement of M.B Hassan.

While charging other police colleges to see the honours earned by M.B.Hassan as a challenge, Malam Bishir Ahmadu, Zonal Inspector of the force, described the Head teacher as a committed and dedicated officer.

In his words: "The awards were truly based on merit.
"Commenting on the honours, the Head teacher of police college, Saulawa, Alhaji Idris Salisu Danmusa, in a good will message, said he was not surprised over the awards because of the hard work and dedication of his Katsina counterpart.

"He is hardworking and dedicated. I appreciate his success", Dan Musa stated.
M.B.Hassan spoke on his awards: "The honours are a favour from God. They came as a surprise to me. I dedicate them to my teachers".

He recalled that the African International News magazine sent nomination letters three times and he rejected them because he thought they were scam letters.
He paid tribute to the Inspector General of police for giving him the opportunity to serve in the capacity which earned him the awards.

The elated Head teacher, who urged other teachers not to rest on their oars, expressed gratitude to the Parent Teachers Association (PTA) of the school and the large society for their contributions.
Earlier, the special guest on the occasion, the Danmadimi katsina, Alhaji Usman Usman, had said nobody was honoured unless he deserves to be.

According to him, M.B Hassan had the honours coming with his diligence and hard work.
The highlights of the occasion were drama sketches and traditional dances of the school pupils.
