Kano Begins Construction of 1,000 Classrooms to Address Congestion, Improve Education Infrastructure

Kano state government has commenced construction of 1000 classrooms across the 44 local government areas, barely six months after declaration of state of emergency on Education in Kano State Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf.

The state Commissioner of Education Umar Doguwa, told Journalists in Kano, that the measure would no doubt, mitigate classroom congestion which become a common feature of most of the schools.

He said as part of the emergency action, the governor has employed additional 10,000 teachers, to create more conducive atmosphere for learning.

He further explained that the decision to declare the state of emergency on education became necessary with regards to the decay of the quality of education and the infrastructure in the sector.

“This declaration is not just symbolic; it signifies a commitment to overhaul our education system. We will invest in infrastructure, ensuring that every school has adequate classrooms conducive to teaching and learning.”

Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf had in June this year declared a State of Emergency in the state education sector with a view to revamping it for the overall development of education in the state.

“As your elected Governor entrusted with the solemn responsibility of steering our state towards prosperity and progress, I cannot ignore the glaring reality that confronts us in the realm of education.

In a tour to monitor the progress of the construction of 1000 classrooms it was observed that the work was in progress in some of the places including, Abubakar Yusuf Government Junior Secondary School Hotoron Kudu in Nasarawa Local Government Area and Darmanawa Gadar Karfe School in Tarauni Local Government Area.

In all the three projects inspected, work has reached advanced level of completion with the Engineers and labourers seen on site thriving to satisfy the contract agreement
