During the handover ceremony in Dutse, the state capital, the Commissioner for Higher Education, Science and Technology, Prof. Isah Chamo, emphasized that the motorcycles will help officials monitor schools more effectively, especially in remote areas. He highlighted that this initiative is part of Governor Umar Namadi’s broader plan to strengthen education through better oversight.
The motorcycles were distributed to two key groups: 47 were given to Special Assistants on School Monitoring, with two per local government, while 16 were allocated to education committee members under the Better Education Service Delivery for All program. Additionally, the governor approved N100 million for repairing vehicles in education zonal offices to further support mobility and efficiency.
Prof. Chamo urged the recipients to use the motorcycles responsibly, reminding them that they represent both the government and their communities. He stressed the importance of dedication and professionalism in school assessments, as this initiative is expected to significantly improve education monitoring.
Beneficiaries expressed gratitude for the support, noting that the motorcycles will make it easier to reach schools in distant areas. Abdullahi Mohammed, a monitoring official in Dutse, said the motorcycle will help ensure pupils in hard-to-reach locations receive quality education. Similarly, Magaji Alhaji from Birnin Kudu explained that the support will allow him to cover more schools and provide accurate reports more efficiently.
This effort reflects the state’s commitment to improving education through better supervision and resource allocation.
