Kano State Government Promotes 18,984 Education Workers

The Kano State Government has approved the promotion of 18,984 teaching and non-teaching staff under the State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB), covering the January and July 2026 promotion exercises. The government allocated N235.1 million for the implementation of these promotions across the state's 44 Local Government Education Authorities (LGEAs).

This initiative is part of Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf's efforts to resolve longstanding promotion backlogs in the basic education sector. The SUBEB chairman, Yusuf Kabir, requested funds to implement the promotions, which were ratified by the State Executive Council.

The board employs approximately 60,000 personnel. Educationist Sulaiman Isah praised the promotion as a morale booster but urged for additional support in professional training and resources.

Teachers Musa Abdullahi, Ibrahim Sani, and Aisha Muhammad expressed gratitude for the recognition and financial benefits, emphasizing the need for ongoing government support in training and infrastructure.
