Governor Dauda Lawal of Zamfara State has approved the employment of 2,000 teachers.
The governor made the announcement while presiding over the Executive Council meeting at the Government House council chamber in Gusau.
A statement by the governor’s spokesperson, Sulaiman Bala Idris, revealed that the planned recruitment of teachers fulfilled promises made during the campaign.
The statement noted that education, being the second priority of Governor Lawal’s administration, had received significant attention and is already yielding desired results.
“Governor Dauda Lawal, in his commitment to revamp education in Zamfara state, has, on November 14, 2023, declared a state of emergency in the educational sector of Zamfara State.
“The government will employ 2,000 qualified teachers to help improve and revitalize the education sector.
“The teachers are to be employed in phases to ensure that the right people of quality to address especially critical areas of need in our schools are employed without any wrongdoing.
“The recruitment is part of the AGILE Program and aims to completely reverse the rot in the education sector and improve the quality of teaching and students in our schools throughout the state.
“We are starting with employing 500 teachers in the first quarter of this year. In the first instance, emphasis should be placed on teachers in critical subjects like English, mathematics, chemistry, physics, biology, ICT, and entrepreneurship studies,” he said.
