In a move aimed at boosting morale among education workers, Kano State Governor Abba Yusuf approved the promotion of 18,984 teaching and non‑teaching staff of the State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB) on Tuesday.
The decision follows a review of staff performance and tenure conducted by SUBEB. The board, which oversees the administration of primary and secondary schools across the state, has long been responsible for setting standards and ensuring quality in basic education.
Under the new orders, the promoted staff will receive higher ranks and corresponding salary adjustments. The governor’s office said the move was part of a broader effort to recognise the hard work of educators and support the state’s educational objectives.
While the announcement did not detail the specific grades or pay scales involved, it marked a significant increase in the number of personnel receiving recognition for their service. The promotion list is expected to be published by the board’s human‑resources department in the coming days.
Experts say the move could help attract and retain skilled teachers and support staff, a key component of Kano’s strategy to improve educational outcomes across the state.
