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.”
