Northern govs will sack teachers after winning 2019 election – El Rufai
Governor Nasir El Rufai of Kaduna State has said that the educational reform, which took place in Kaduna, will also be carried out in other northern states after the 2019 elections.
It would be recalled that the Kaduna State Government sacked about 22,000 teachers for incompetency in 2017, as part of the efforts to reform the education sector in the state. The action had attracted much criticism from various quarters in the sector.
