Kano governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf, has appealed to the people of the state, to exercise patience, as the state government is working hard to revive the education sector, which has been bastardised.
He stated this when he paid an unscheduled visit to the New Girls Science and Technical College, Kofar Nasarawa, Kano.
However, Governor Yusuf who showed his seriousness in tackling decay in the state’s education sector, said they mean business and remain focused in their efforts to solve the problem.
According to him, “His administration had embarked on many programmes under the recently-declared State of Emergency on Education, to address the decay in the sector”.
Such initiatives, he said, include the construction, rehabilitation, and renovation of classrooms, provision of furniture, and teaching materials, and employment of new teachers.
He said his administration is vigorously implementing the State of Emergency on Education to revamp the education sector for the progress and development of the state.
Gov Yusuf then expressed disappointment at what he saw at the school formerly known as the Governor’s College.
“I am sad and disappointed at the decay I saw in this school; no teaching materials; no furniture and virtually no teachers.”
He lamented the Rabi’u Kwankwaso administration under which he served left the school fully equipped and well-staffed, but that the succeeding administration neglected it and left it dilapidated.
He, however, assured the staff and students of the college that the State Government would provide the needed staff, teaching materials, furniture, and other facilities to restore its capacity to impart quality education.
