Kaduna State government builds over 2000 classrooms for basic education

AI-summarized · Neutrality-checked

Kaduna State Governor Uba Sani initiated a campaign to ensure universal access to basic education, resulting in the return of over 360,000 previously out-of-school children to the classroom. To support this influx, the State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB), led by Executive Chairman Mubarak Mohammed, constructed over 2,000 new classrooms. The government formally launched the 2026/2027 School Enrollment Campaign, which included a public awareness walk to the Sheikh Abubakar Gumi market to encourage parents to enroll their children.

Consequences

The construction of over 2,000 classrooms will provide the necessary infrastructure to support the state's efforts to reduce the remaining population of out-of-school children. The active enforcement of enrollment advocacy is likely to increase school attendance numbers as officials transition from awareness campaigns to direct enrollment facilitation.
