In bid to revitalise the education sector, Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf has launched the distribution of over 1 million units of learning materials to schools across the 44 local government areas of the state.
The materials distributed include: 120,000 cartons of chalk; 97,532 workbooks; 93,600 exercise books; 199,234 classroom registers; 350,000 report sheets; 351 lesson observation books; and National anthem books.
At the flag-off ceremony at Government House on Thursday, Governor Yusuf emphasised his commitment to addressing the sector’s challenges, inherited from the previous administration.
“We are fully committed to restoring the educational system,” he assured.
Commissioner of Education Umar Haruna Doguwa praised Governor Yusuf’s unwavering support, noting that the declaration of a State of Emergency on education has been a promise fulfilled beyond expectations.
The distribution is part of the governor’s comprehensive education reform plan, which includes teacher training, school rehabilitation, and construction of new classrooms.
