Plan is in the pipeline by the State government to re open 6 Science and Technical Colleges shut by the immediate past administration.
The statement was revealed by the Executive Secretary of Science and Technical Schools Board, Dr Dahiru Muhammad Sale while on assessment tour to the colleges.
It could be recalled that the previous administration took the decision to close some boarding schools as part of
measures to curtail attack in schools in boundary areas by bandits as has been the case in some neighbouring states.
Dr Dahiru Muhammad said the step taken downsized enrollment in the schools beside causing congestion in some schools in the metropolitan due to ever increase in the demand of enrollment into the colleges.
According to the Executive Secretary another consequence for the closure was inaccessibility of the colleges to students of other areas rather than those in adjacent ones.
He pointed out that the issue will be investigated and recommendations on the findings submitted before the Government on the way forward.
Dr Dahiru Muhammad regretted the condition he found some of the schools visited. Including Senator Bello Hayatu Gwarzo Girls Science and Technical College, Government Technical College Tiga, and Government Technical College Bagauda which he said need total renovations and procurement of additional laboratory equipment overhauling of workshop machines provision of kitchen utensils, teaching staff, and boosting security measures in collaboration with security agencies.
In their separate remarks the School Directors of Senator Bello Hayatu, Tiga, Bagauda Hajiya Dije Ado Yakasai, Malam Ado Ibrahim, and Ibrahim Bala Yusuf lauded the motive behind the visit and the decision taken by the present administration in reopening the schools.
