Kano Govt. Sponsors 119,903 Students For 2024 NECO and NBAIS Examination

By Nura Ahmad
Kano State Government will sponsor 119,903 students who sat for the 2024 Qualifying Examination across the 44 Local Government Areas of the state to write the forth coming National Examination Council (NECO) and National Board For Arabic and Islamic Studies (NBAIS) examination.

This was made known today Thursday by the state Commissioner of Education Alhaji Umar Haruna Doguwa while addressing Newsmen in his office.

In a statement signed by the Director Public Enlightenment of the Ministry, Balarabe Abdullahi Kiru, said Umar Haruna disclosed that earlier, a proposal was made to Kano State Governor Alhaji Abba Kabir Yusuf on 8 credits (including mathematics and English) bench mark for a student to pass the qualifying examination which was later rejected by the Governor and opted to pay for any student that pass 4 credits in any course.

" By this development, about 109,891 students representing 83% who sat for KERD qualifying examination would be sponsored by the government while 10,012 students representing 97.24% who sat for the NBAIS qualifying examination would also  be sponsored by the government.

" A total cost of N2,664,856,750 ( Two Billion, Six Hundred and Sixty Four Million, Eight Hundred and Fifty Six Thousand, Seven Hundred and fifty Naira) would be spent by government on NECO whereby N248,826,000 (Two Hundred and Forty Eight Million, Eight Hundred and Twenty Six Thousand Naira would be spent on NBAIS examination respectively " said Doguwa.

Umar Doguwa explained that for both  NECO and NBAIS students, Kano State Government would pay the sum of N2,910,652,700 ( Two Billion, Nine Hundred and Ten Million, Six Hundred and Fifty Two Thousands, Seven Hundred Naira ) which he said would enable most of the students in the state who can not afford paying to write the examinations.

He explained that when the present administration of Abba Kabir Yusuf came in, there was a system by the previous government of sponsoring candidates with 6 credits including Mathematics and English and that represented only 34% of students who sat for NECO and 20% of students who sat for NBAIS examination in 2022.

The Commissioner added...." In our effort to ensure that our students get admission to higher institutions, the administration of Abba Kabir Yusuf had paid NECO and NBAIS for the 2021, 2022 and 2023 registration fees inherited from the previous government ". 

He called on the people in the state to continue to support the present administration in it's effort to improve  the education sector.
