Kano State distributes school uniforms to 7,092 pupils

The Governor of Kano State, Abba Yusuf, on Monday distributed 789,000 school uniforms to pupils in 7,092 public schools across the 44 local government areas, as part of efforts to transform the state’s education sector.

The initiative, which has been described as a cornerstone of the administration’s strategy to improve access to quality education, was announced in a statement issued by the governor’s spokesperson, Sunusi Tofa.

The distribution aims to create a dignified and inclusive learning environment for all children in the state.

Speaking at the ceremony, Governor Yusuf reiterated his commitment to overhauling Kano’s education system.

“This is just the beginning. After providing these uniforms, we will continue to equip our schools with additional resources to improve learning conditions,” he said.

In addition to the uniforms, the state government has distributed 53,000 desks to schools, addressing infrastructure challenges that have long hindered effective teaching and learning.

The initiative has received widespread praise for its potential to boost school enrolment, improve retention, and instil a sense of pride and equality among pupils.

“This intervention reflects the administration’s commitment to leaving no child behind in the pursuit of quality education, marking a new chapter for Kano’s education sector,” the statement read.
