Gov. Yusuf to reward Kano headteachers found working during vacation while on unscheduled visits

Kano State Government has pledged to reward two primary school headteachers found in their offices during vacation.
The headteachers were preparing for the 2024/2025 academic session starting next week, when Governor Abba Yusuf paid unscheduled visits to the schools.
Mr Yusuf instantly announced the gesture during the unscheduled visits to Tsanyawa Central and Model Primary Schools where he met the headmasters on their duty posts.
A statement issued by the governor’s spokesperson, Sanusi Bature, said that the governor was impressed by the headmasters’ commitment to duty demonstrated by being in office while schools were on vacation.
It quoted Mr Yusuf as saying that after consulting with the commissioner of education, government would determine a suitable reward to boost the morale of the headteachers and inspire others to emulate them.
Mr Yusuf further said that as part of the ongoing state of emergency on education, the two schools visited would be prioritised to create an improved environment for teaching and learning.
The governor promised to continue to pay unscheduled visits to schools and government projects to ensure education was of good quality, while promising execution of ongoing projects according to agreed standards.
In their separate remarks, the Head Teachers of Tsanyawa Central Primary School, Ismaila Alhassan, and that of Model Primary, Magaji Sule, appreciated the governor’s efforts to revive education in the state.
