Investment by the administration of Kano State Governor Abba Yusuf in education goes beyond basic and secondary schools.
The administration is also making significant human, capital, and infrastructure interventions in tertiary institutions across the state.
The Commissioner for Information and Home Affairs, Ibrahim Waiya, stated this while addressing information officers and heads of tertiary institutions, urging them to properly publicise government investments in their respective schools.
Kano State has state-owned polytechnics, colleges of education, and two state universities, complementing existing federal and private institutions that provide higher education services.
Beyond the foreign postgraduate scholarship programme for first-class graduates, the commissioner for information Ibrahim Waiya says, the Abba Yusuf administration has undertaken major academic, welfare, and infrastructural interventions in state-owned tertiary institutions.
For Waiya, issues such as excess workload, earned academic allowances, and other welfare concerns affecting universities have received serious attention from the administration.
The commissioner also highlights ongoing physical development projects across the state owned institutions aimed at improving the learning environment.
Expressing concern over what he describes as inadequate publicity of these achievements, Waiya charges public relations officers and institutional heads to be proactive in sensitising the public on government interventions in the education sector.
