The Kano State Government has allocated N1.1 billion for the purchase of free school uniforms for Primary One pupils as part of efforts to boost school enrollment.
This was revealed in a statement released on Friday in Kano by Sunusi Dawakin-Tofa, spokesperson for Governor Abba Yusuf.
The statement noted that the distribution of free uniforms is aimed at increasing enrollment, enhancing student retention, and promoting equal access to education.
He emphasised that education is a right, not a privilege, and this initiative will ease the burden on parents.
“The move aims to attract out-of-school children into classrooms and complements other education reforms, aligning with the government’s comprehensive education agenda”.
