Zamfara Commissioner Urges Support for Governor Lawal's Education Reform Agenda

The Zamfara State Government is calling on various stakeholders to lend their support to the ongoing endeavours to revitalise the education sector.

This appeal was made by the Supervising Commissioner for Education, Science and Technology, Abdul Malik Gajam, during a strategic meeting with education officials in Gusau.

He affirmed that Governor Dauda Lawal is deeply committed to bringing about a transformation in the education sector.

"We firmly believe that Governor Dauda Lawal is passionate and has the zeal to transform the education sector in the state," Gajam stated.

Gajam urged teachers and administrators to actively support the proposed reforms, cautioning that a lack of cooperation could impede the sector's advancement.

"If we mistakenly refuse to support him… it would be hard for Zamfara education to recover," he warned.

The commissioner highlighted the critical need for accountability and the establishment of measurable outcomes within the sector.

"I made it clear that we must move beyond paperwork. What we need now is verifiable data and physical evidence of progress across all 14 local government areas," he emphasized.

Furthermore, the commissioner directed officials to address issues of teacher absenteeism and ensure the effective delivery of services.

"Our officers must serve as the true ‘eyes and ears’ of government, ensuring teacher accountability and guaranteeing that learning materials reach every child," he instructed.

He also mentioned that the state government is actively working on repositioning public schools.

"Our goal is to restore quality, discipline, and excellence across all schools and make them more competitive," he concluded.
