The ZAMFARA State Government has stated that it is ready to deploy security officers to schools in the state to ensure that children and instructors are adequately protected.
Governor MATAWALLE said it was due to insecurity ravaging some parts of the country that forced his administration to shut down all the institutions in the state, saying that he would soon reopen the schools.
He disclosed this when some students paid him a courtesy visit at the Government House in GUSAU, the State capital, as part of activities marking the International Day of the Girl Child.
Reporters gathered that the Governor vacated his seat to ZAINAB BELLO, a J.S.S two student of Unity School, KORTOKOSHI for almost an hour to act as the Governor of the State.
The Governor also promised that his administration would pay its counterpart funds for the year 2021 Universal Basic Education (UBEC) and would continue to improve the standard of education, especially of the girl child in ZAMFARA State
