Gov. Of Zamfara State, Abdulaziz Yari
The Zamfara State government has approved over 3 billion naira meant for the construction and renovation of 114 primary and junior secondary schools across the 14 local government councils of the state.
This was disclosed by the executive chairman of the State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB), Alhaji Murtala Adamu Jangebe in a press conference shortly after awarding the contracts to indigenous contractors by Governor Abdulaziz Yari Abubakar at government house Gusau, the state capital.
Jangebe said, the aim of the state government was to secure conducive atmosphere for both teaching and learning in primary and junior secondary schools especially at the grassroot level across the state thereby, ensuring sound education.
He further informed that, 10 local government councils were selected to benefit the efforts including Shinkafi, Zurmi, Maradun, Birnin Magaji, Maru, Talata Mafara, Anka, Kaura Namoda, Gummi and Bukkuyum as modern offices would be constructed in their local government council secretariats.
The SUBEB boss stressed that, the state government has concluded arrangements for the purchase of 7087 units of tables and chairs for both classrooms and staff offices across the primary and junior secondary schools in the state.
Jangebe therefore called on the benefiting communities to give their maximum support and adopt maintenance habit in order to have the renovated and constructed schools last in favour of government coffers and its policies especially in education.
