Kaduna State Commissioner for Education, Science and Technology, Andrew Nok says the state government had spent over N6.5 billion on development of infrastructure in schools in Southern Kaduna, adding that part of the money was spent on renovation to improve the quality of teaching and learning.

“Addressing school infrastructure is key in influencing the standard of education in the state and students’ performance is central to government policy on education,” he said.

Mr. Nok stated this at the flag-off of textbook distribution to secondary schools at Government Girls Science Kwoi, Southern Kaduna, saying N200 million was spent on phase one renovation of G.G.S.S. Kwoi, the venue of the event.

“This is why we are making every effort to provide all the needed facilities to enhance teaching and learning in our schools,” he said.

While assuring that all schools would be renovated and provided chairs and other learning materials that would ensure quality teaching, he also said all laboratories in secondary schools would be modernised.

“We will no longer have multi-user laboratories but specific laboratories for all science subjects,” he announced.

According to him, all books being distributed cover the core subjects and were procured at the cost of N600 million.

In a remark, Principal of the school, Ruth Dowoh, said all classes and laboratories in the school had been renovated, adding that four of the school’s six hostels had also been renovated.
