The Federal Government has commended the Kano State Government for making education its top priority by allocating a record 32 per cent of its 2026 budget to the sector, describing the move as a bold investment in the future of Nigeria’s children.
Kano State earmarked ₦405 billion out of its proposed ₦1.36 trillion 2026 budget for education the largest education allocation in the state’s history. The investment comes after Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf declared a state of emergency in the education sector to address decades of challenges.
Speaking in Kano on Tuesday 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, the Minister of Education, Dr. Tunji Alausa, praised the state government for its commitment to transforming education.
According to the minister, Kano’s unprecedented budget allocation demonstrates that the government understands the importance of investing in human capital.
“You have a performing governor who has prioritised education. In just three years, Kano has recruited about 16,000 teachers. That is a remarkable investment in human capital development,” Alausa said.

Alausa described teachers as the most valuable professionals in any society, stressing that the quality of a nation’s education depends largely on the quality of its teachers.
He urged the newly recruited teachers to justify the confidence placed in them by remaining dedicated, professional and committed to nurturing future generations.
“Much has been given to you, and much is expected. Make the governor proud, make Kano State proud and teach every child with passion and care,” he said.
The minister also applauded the Kano State Government for ongoing infrastructure projects, including road construction and the installation of solar-powered streetlights, saying they reflect responsible governance and a commitment to improving the quality of life for residents.
Over 16,000 teachers recruited in three years
Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf said the recruitment exercise represents another major milestone in his administration’s education reforms.
He disclosed that between May 2023 and June 2026, the state had recruited more than 13,000 qualified teachers into public basic and secondary schools.
With the latest recruitment of 4,900 teachers and the engagement of 3,688 BESDA facilitators, the total number of teachers and education facilitators employed under his administration has risen to over 16,000.
The governor described the exercise as a strategic investment in the future of Kano’s children and reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to improving access to quality education across the state.
Massive investment in schools and technical education
Beyond teacher recruitment, the governor said his administration has invested heavily in educational infrastructure and learning facilities.
According to him, the government has renovated and constructed classrooms, supplied furniture and instructional materials, provided free primary school uniforms, reopened 15 boarding schools, and established six new technical schools.
He added that Kano has consistently paid counterpart funding to access intervention projects from the Universal Basic Education Commission (UBEC).
Governor Yusuf explained that the newly engaged BESDA facilitators would initially serve for nine months, after which outstanding performers could be considered for permanent employment.

The Executive Secretary of the Kano State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB), Alhaji Yusuf Kabir, said the recruitment process was transparent, merit-based and designed to ensure only qualified and competent teachers were employed.
He stressed that education is a shared responsibility and called on communities to take ownership of public schools to improve learning outcomes and protect government investments.
