Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf has ordered the immediate renovation of Government Secondary School (GSS) Kwankwaso in Madobi Local Government Area due to its deteriorating condition.
During an unannounced visit to the school on Saturday, the Governor saw broken classrooms, unusable toilets, a collapsed dining hall, and a damaged perimeter fence.
“His Excellency was deeply concerned about the state of the school infrastructure and has therefore directed the Commissioners for Education and Works to immediately mobilize resources for total renovation,” said Sanusi Bature Dawakin-Tofa, the Governor’s spokesperson.
Speaking at the school, Governor Yusuf said, “We are committed to providing a conducive learning environment for our children. No school should be allowed to decay to this level. This is unacceptable.”
The Governor also addressed staffing issues. “Beyond infrastructure, we must ensure we have enough hands in the classrooms. I have directed the recruitment of additional teaching staff to improve learning outcomes for the students,” he said.
Sanusi added that the school currently serves over 600 students. “His Excellency believes that when schools are made functional and attractive, more parents will be encouraged to enroll their children, which in turn will improve access to education in the state,” Sanusi noted.
