Kaduna State Governor Uba Sani has approved the 2025 FGN-ASUU salary agreement for Kaduna State University, handed over renovated classrooms in Barnawa, and secured six team qualifications at the National Intermediate Games.
Kaduna State Governor Uba Sani approved the 2025 FGN-ASUU salary agreement for Kaduna State University (KASU) academic staff, effective October 2026. Education Commissioner Prof. Abubakar Sani Sambo noted the package includes the revised CONUASS scale and academic allowances, supported by allocating 25% of the state budget to education to construct 3,267 classrooms and return 300,000 out-of-school children to class.
In basic education delivery, the Kaduna State Universal Basic Education Board (KADSUBEB) handed over a newly renovated block of classrooms to the Barnawa Community in Kaduna South LGA. Board representative Engr. Ahmad Yahya Lere urged the community to safeguard the facility, while District Head Alhaji Muhammad Kabiru Zubairu commended the administration's sustained investments in basic education infrastructure.
In sports development, Kaduna State achieved dominant results at the North West Zonal Elimination of the National Intermediate Games hosted at Murtala Muhammed Square. Kaduna secured first-place qualifications across six disciplines-including Beach Volleyball, Female Volleyball, Male Handball, Male and Female Cricket, Hockey, and Basketball-advancing to the national finals.
Sports Ministry Permanent Secretary Mrs. Dorcas Inti Benjamin Tanko attributed the athletic success to state funding for sports and key facility upgrades. These include completing renovations at Kaduna Township Stadium and advancing the reconstruction of Ahmadu Bello Stadium to expand its seating capacity from 16,000 to 33,000 spectators.
The Kaduna State Government reaffirmed that combining tertiary labor stability with basic education infrastructure expansion and sports development remains vital to empowering youth. The administration pledged continued commitment to human capital development across the state.
