The Kano State House of Assembly has summoned Yusuf Kabir, Chairman of the State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB), over allegations of misconduct in the recent recruitment of over 7,000 teachers. The summons came after a motion by Murtala Musa Kore, lawmaker representing Dambatta, raised concerns about the process, including claims that applicants paid money to obtain job forms despite the exercise being officially free. Investigations cited in local reports indicate that up to 90 per cent of applicants reportedly paid for the forms. The Assembly has called for transparency and due process, emphasizing the need to uphold fairness and maintain the standard of education in the state. Kabir is expected to appear before lawmakers to provide an explanation. Lawmakers have not ruled out the possibility of cancelling the recruitment exercise if the allegations are substantiated.
