Legit.ng gathers that Magawata said education is striving well in the state as Governor Abubakar Bagudu has given priority to the sector.

He said the recruitment of teachers has been ongoing in the last two months.

He said: “I went to all the headquarters and we have finished the recruitment of 2000 teachers. We will start giving them offer soon.”

Speaking on the challenges of the exercise, the commissioner said most university graduates were not qualified to teach.

He said: “There was a time I brought a graduate here; he could not define economics. We have to sit down with our local colleagues at the university.

“In fact, in Argungu we had to call the official to sit down at the interview place to see what we are seeing.”

We will remain on the streets. We will remain on the streets until God provi
