Bauchi State's Education Commissioner Advocates for Girls' Education

The Bauchi State government is actively working to bring all out-of-school children, especially girls, back into the educational system. Abdulkadir Ibrahim, the Commissioner for Education, made this announcement during the 2026 International Day of the Girl-child celebration at the Government Girls College (GGC) in Bauchi.

The event was organized by the Bauchi State Ministry of Education in collaboration with several organizations, including the Adolescent Girls Initiative for Learning and Empowerment (AGILE) and Young Leaders Network. Ibrahim emphasized the importance of investing in girls' education, stating that it is a moral responsibility and a strategic investment for society's future.

He acknowledged the challenges girls face, such as poverty, gender-based discrimination, and limited access to quality education. The government is committed to supporting initiatives that encourage girls to enroll and remain in school, ensuring they have safe learning environments.

Ibrahim urged parents to prioritize their daughters' education and called on teachers to treat every girl with dignity and provide equal opportunities for success.
