Jigawa State Enhances Teaching Workforce with New Appointments
On October 2, 2026, Jigawa State Governor Umar Namadi announced the conversion of 1,200 J-TEACH workers to permanent staff and the recruitment of 820 additional personnel during an event at the Banquet Hall, Government House, Dutse. This initiative aims to address gaps in pupil-teacher and student-teacher ratios, particularly in underserved rural areas.
The 2,020 beneficiaries include those who completed the necessary training and selection process. Namadi emphasized that the initiative not only strengthens the teaching workforce but also creates jobs for qualified young individuals.
Since 2023, his administration has expanded the teaching workforce through the J-TEACH pathway, bringing in 7,500 personnel into basic education, with 3,000 converted to permanent roles. The governor also highlighted the deployment of over 2,100 graduate teachers and the employment of about 600 staff for Mega Schools and boarding senior secondary schools.
He urged the Ministry of Higher Education to ensure these appointments lead to measurable improvements in schools.
