Kaduna State government has finalized plans to award the construction of additional fifty secondary schools project across the state.

According to him, most of the projects have been completed and commissioned while the remaining ones are on the verge of completion.
He noted that the new secondary school will provide students with the best possible environment to learn, grow, and thrive.
“You will recall that when I performed the groundbreaking for the construction of this school on 31st August 2023, I made a commitment that it would be speedily completed. We have matched our words with action, to the glory of Almighty Allah”.
According to him, the milestone marks a significant step in his administration efforts at addressing one of the leading constraints to education which includes accessible, safe and conducive learning spaces.

An educated girl or woman is a huge asset to society”.

“I urged the students to make the most of these wonderful facilities. Embrace the opportunities they provide, explore your passions, and strive for excellence. Remember, the knowledge and skills you acquire here will empower you to shape a brighter future for yourself and our society”.
