The Governor of Zamfara State, Dauda Lawal, has announced the recruitment of 2,000 teachers to boost the state’s education system. This announcement was made during an Executive Council meeting held at the Government House in Gusau.

In a statement by the governor’s spokesperson, Sulaiman Bala Idris, the recruitment is part of Governor Lawal’s campaign promises. Education has been a key focus of his administration, and this new step reflects his commitment to improving the sector.

The governor had earlier declared a state of emergency in the education sector on November 14, 2023. This recruitment drive aims to address the challenges facing schools and raise the quality of teaching.

The employment process will be done in phases, starting with the recruitment of 500 teachers in the first quarter of the year. Priority will be given to critical subjects like English, mathematics, chemistry, physics, biology, ICT, and entrepreneurship studies.

This initiative is part of the AGILE Program, which focuses on reversing the decline in education standards and improving the overall learning experience in Zamfara State. By hiring qualified teachers, the government hopes to bring lasting improvements to schools across the state.

Governor Lawal’s plan demonstrates a strong commitment to education and the future of Zamfara’s youth.
