The Kano State Government has absorbed 4,315 former Better Education Service Delivery for All (BESDA) volunteer teachers into permanent and pensionable service, Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf has announced.
The approval follows previous recruitments of 5,500 teachers in 2023, 5,632 in 2024, and 4,000 in May 2025—all transitioned from the BESDA voluntary teaching scheme into the state’s education workforce.
Governor Yusuf, in a statement posted on X, also revealed plans to recruit an additional 2,616 teachers as part of ongoing reforms to strengthen the state’s education sector. He further announced the launch of a ₦200 million vehicle loan scheme for teachers, alongside the distribution of 444 motorcycles and 300 computers to enhance school monitoring and evaluation.
In addition, the governor directed the reopening of the Shehu Minjibir Boarding Primary School with an initial enrolment of 180 pupils, the conversion of a school in Ungogo Local Government Area into a boarding facility, and the engagement of 17,000 watchmen across schools in the state.
He noted that the reforms are already yielding results, pointing to Kano’s recent recognition as the best-performing state in the 2025 NECO examination.
