Kano To Recruit More Than 17 Thousand Security Guards for Public Schools
As part of renewed efforts to strengthen safety in schools, Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf has announced the recruitment of 17,600 security guards to be deployed across public schools in Kano State with immediate effects.
This was contained in a statement issued by governor’s spokesperson Sunusi Bature Dawakin Tofa on Monday.
Speaking at an official event in Kano, the governor revealed that 400 security personnel will be recruited and stationed in each of the state’s 44 local government areas. The initiative aims to safeguarding the lives of students and teachers, and create a safe learning environment across all public schools.
“This decision was born out of our administration’s commitment to protect our children and teachers from emerging security threats,” Governor Yusuf said. “We cannot afford to allow fear or insecurity to disrupt the education of our future leaders.”
The newly recruited guards will be trained and strategically deployed to man school gates, monitor suspicious activity, and coordinate with relevant security agencies where necessary.
This development comes alongside several other education reforms introduced by Gov. Yusuf’s administration, including the solarization of 200 schools and the distribution of instructional materials, as well as plans to permanently employ qualified BESDA staff.
Governor Yusuf reiterated that security, education, and youth empowerment remain key pillars of his administration’s agenda. He called on parents, community leaders, and traditional institutions to support the government’s efforts in ensuring safety in schools and promoting quality education for all.
