The governor of Bauchi State, Bala Mohammed, has restated his administration’s commitment to the development of education sector in the state.

Mohammed stated this at a ceremony to commence the distribution of learning materials to Better Education Service Delivery for All (BESDA) learning centres, in Bauchi.

He said that the state government had implemented several policies and programmes to enhance learning and promote the overall development of the education sector.

The governor commended the Federal Government for its support to the state under the Universal Basic Education programme.

Mohammed said that the BESDA programme had led to the procurement of about N900m worth of learning and teaching materials in the state.

In his speech, Chairman, Bauchi State Universal Basic Education Board, Abubakar Sirimbai, urged the state government to recruit more teachers to enhance learning.

Sirimbai said that recruiting more teachers would make the education system more efficient and rewarding, while lamenting that the state had not recruited teachers since 2015.
