Governor Abdullahi Sule of Nasarawa State has approved the recruitment of 4,700 new teachers to strengthen primary education across the state.
This initiative comes in response to a pressing shortage of teaching staff in public primary schools, aiming to enhance the quality of basic education.
It is part of a broader strategy by the state government to boost human capital development through focused investment in the education sector.
Highlighting the importance of this move, Governor Sule emphasized that early education is vital for children’s academic and social growth.
He reiterated his administration’s commitment to providing adequate staffing and learning resources to lay a solid foundation for learners at the primary level.
The 4,700 primary school teaching positions form a significant portion of a wider plan to recruit a total of 6,200 teachers for both primary and secondary schools across Nasarawa State.
This expansion is expected to reduce the teacher-to-student ratio significantly, particularly in underserved rural areas, thereby improving classroom learning conditions.
To facilitate this process, the Nasarawa State Teachers’ Service Commission will soon release application procedures and timelines.
Interested candidates are encouraged to prepare their credentials and closely monitor official government channels for updates.
Overall, this recruitment drive is widely seen as a strategic effort to improve education outcomes and ensure that every child in Nasarawa State has access to quality foundational learning.
