The Jigawa State Government has announced that the tenure of newly appointed education secretaries across the state will be tied to a one-year performance review. The move is aimed at improving accountability and ensuring that education administrators deliver measurable results in their various local government areas.

Government officials explained that the one-year assessment will focus on school management, teacher supervision, student performance, and effective use of public resources. Secretaries who meet set targets will be confirmed in office, while those who fail to perform may be replaced or reassigned.

The policy, according to the government, is part of a broader reform agenda to strengthen the education sector and raise learning standards across Jigawa State. Authorities believe that linking tenure to performance will encourage dedication, innovation, and better service delivery in public schools.

Education stakeholders have welcomed the initiative, saying it could improve transparency and professionalism in school administration. However, some have called on the government to ensure that the review process is fair, objective, and based on clear benchmarks to avoid political interference.
