Uba Sani Advocates for Basic Education Rights in Kaduna

Governor Uba Sani of Kaduna State is focused on guaranteeing that every child of school age receives access to basic education before the end of his administration. Malam Mubarak Mohammed, the Executive Chairman of Kaduna State Universal Basic Education (SUBEB), stated that education is a right in the state and emphasized that basic education is free, making it an offense for children to be on the streets during school hours.

He highlighted the alarming number of out-of-school children in Northern Nigeria and praised Governor Sani for successfully returning over 360,000 children to school, reducing the previous figure of over 500,000 out-of-school children. SUBEB has constructed over 2000 classrooms to accommodate new pupils.

Additionally, a 2026/2027 School Enrollment Campaign was launched, involving a road walk to raise awareness about the importance of basic education, during which five children were enrolled in primary school.
