The state governor Abubakar Sani Bello who received the report assured all qualified teachers in the state of their dues even as he will encourage the unqualified teachers to get the basic qualifications or be shown the way out.

“Let us identify our teachers and see how we can support them, our teachers are suffering”, he said, directing the secretary to the state government to set up an implementation committee on the findings made by the committee.

He said the unqualified teachers discovered by the committee would be given the opportunity to become professional teachers by going back to school saying that “the number of unqualified teachers is high, over 4,000. We should take them out but we can also give them the option to be trained and come back.”
