The Kano state governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf, is set to launch the distribution of school uniforms for primary 1 pupils across the state on Monday.
This initiative is part of the administration’s commitment to reducing the number of out-of-school children and ensuring every child of school age has access to quality education.
Over 789,000 male and female pupils in 7,092 public schools across the state’s 44 local government areas will benefit from the program.
The Commissioner of Information, Comrade Ibrahim Abdullahi Waiya, Sunday said the project underscores Governor Yusuf’s dedication to addressing educational challenges in the state.
The distribution of uniforms is expected to alleviate the financial burden on indigent parents and encourage school enrollment. “This initiative aligns with our administration’s agenda to promote even development by prioritizing education as a fundamental tool for societal progress,” Waiya emphasized.
