The Federal Government has lauded the Kano State Government for allocating 32 per cent of its budget to education.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the Kano State Government allocated a historic N405 billion out of its N1.36 trillion proposed budget for the 2026 fiscal year to the education sector.
NAN reports that this follows the state government’s declaration of a state of emergency on education.
The Minister of Education, Dr Tunji Alausa, gave the commendation on Tuesday in Kano during the presentation of permanent and pensionable appointment letters to 4,900 newly recruited teachers and the engagement of 3,688 Abba Gida Gida BESDA Cohort V facilitators.
He described the feat as a major investment in human capital development and quality education.
