Borno State Governor, Professor Babagana Zulum, has commissioned a newly built mega school with capacity for 1,500 students at Buratai village in Biu LGA.
Zulum also directed the recruitment of additional 20 teachers to be selected from the host community for deployment to the Government Secondary School (GSS).
The governor explained that the immediate recruitment would be on an ad hoc basis, but that teachers who proved their capacity and commitment would be given permanent employment.
The Commissioner for Education, Engr Lawan Abba Wakilbe, said in the last three years the Zulum administration had recruited about 1,000 teachers who were trained and posted to schools.
The commissioner also said quarters for teachers were constructed in Maiduguri, Banki and Mafa towns.
Wakilbe recalled that Zulum had so far built 24 mega-size schools and rehabilitated over 600 classrooms in 100 schools across the state.
