Kano govt to spend ₦1.1 billion on school uniforms
The Kano State Government has approved N1.1 billion for the procurement of free school uniforms for primary one pupils in the state to encourage enrolment.
This is contained in a statement on Friday by Sunusi Dawakin-Tofa, the spokesman of Governor Abba Yusuf.
According to Mr Dawakin-Tofa, providing free school uniforms will boost enrolment, improve retention, and ensure equal opportunity.
He emphasised that education is a right, not a privilege, and this initiative will ease the burden on parents.
“The move aims to attract out-of-school children into classrooms and complements other education reforms, aligning with the government’s comprehensive education agenda,” Mr Dawakin-Tofa said.
