Hon. Abubakar Kabir Abubakar Bichi, Member of the House of Representatives for Bichi Federal Constituen-cy, Kano State, and Chairman of the House Committee on Appropriation, has commissioned the recon-structed Hagagawa Mega Primary School in Bichi Local Government Area.

Hagagawa Primary School, which was established in 1930, had fallen into a state of serious disrepair and was on the verge of collapse before the comprehensive reconstruction.

In addition to the school project, the lawmaker announced the employment of 180 additional classroom teachers, who will be deployed across primary schools in Bichi Local Government Area to strengthen teaching capacity.

With this latest engagement, the total number of teachers employed by Hon. Bichi has increased to 500, each earning a monthly salary of ₦60,000. This brings his monthly expenditure on teachers’ salaries to ₦30 million, amounting to ₦360 million annually.

Speaking at the commissioning ceremony, Hon. Bichi reaffirmed his commitment to improving education infra-structure, pledging to construct similar model schools in Danzabuwa (Bichi North), Saye (Bichi East) and Ci-ranci communities.

Teachers’ and students’ associations across the local government commended the lawmaker for his sustained investment in education and human capital development.

As part of the reconstruction, Hon. Bichi provided upgraded classrooms, a computer laboratory, a modern library, recreational facilities, and a mini-stadium designed to promote sports and extracurricular activities among pupils.

The event attracted several dignitaries, including Hon. Kabir Alhassan Rurum, Hon. Sagir Ibrahim Koki, Hon. Abdullahi Rogo, Hon.
