Tunji wusu –

For the payment of the National Examination Council registration fees for 57,000 secondary school pupils, the Kano State Government has made available about N1.5 billion.

This is stated in a statement by Aminu Abdulsalam Gwarzo’s deputy governor, Ibrahim Garba Shu’aibu, whose press secretary he is. A copy of the statement was sent to The Punch on Wednesday.

He claimed that on Tuesday, while he watched the 2023 NECO test at Rumfa College, Kano, the Deputy Governor revealed the information.

Gwarzo, who reaffirmed the administration’s commitment to improving the educational landscape for the socioeconomic advancement of the populace, referred to education as the cornerstone of any significant social progress.

The Deputy Governor was quoted in the announcement as stating, “Our government views investment in the education sector as a vital step towards nurturing the future leaders of tomorrow.”

In order to track their children’s progress and provide them the inspiration they need to succeed, he urged the Parents Teachers Association to work with the schools in their local communities.

Gwarzo emphasized the administration’s steadfast dedication to advancing Kano’s educational system and made a plea for the support of the populace in raising educational standards at the primary and secondary school levels.

Umar Haruna Doguwa, the commissioner for education, had earlier announced that committees had been formed by the ministry of education to evaluate boarding institutions that had been shuttered during the previous governor Abdullahi Ganduje government with a view to reopening them.
