Kano Allocates N8 Billion for “Mega Primary” Schools Construction

In a bid to enhance the educational infrastructure in the state, the Kano Government has allocated N8 billion for the construction of three “mega primary” schools.

Governor Abba Yusuf revealed that these mega schools, each located in a senatorial district, would be equipped with full educational facilities to provide a conducive learning environment for children from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

Governor Yusuf emphasized the importance of these mega schools in offering a sound educational foundation for children, particularly those from less privileged families. He stated that the funds would be used to create modern learning spaces, ensuring a higher quality of education at the grassroots level.

Furthermore, the governor highlighted that an additional N6 billion had been designated for the renovation of all primary schools in the state. This initiative aims to improve the overall infrastructure of primary education institutions.

In a parallel effort, Governor Yusuf reported that the government had approved the renovation of 26 Special Institutions initially established by Former Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso. Seventeen of these institutions have already undergone renovation, signaling an end to the era of pupils receiving lessons on bare floors.

The state government has shown a commitment to providing essential learning facilities, signaling a shift towards a more conducive teaching and learning environment. Additionally, Governor Yusuf outlined other educational investments, including N500 million for a hostel at Aliko University Wudil, N150 million for the new Environmental and Climate Department at Maitama Sule University, and over N500 million for new courses at the State Polytechnic and Management Institution.
