Gov. Nasiru El-Rufa’i on Thursday said that over 42 per cent of teachers in Kaduna State were unqualified. Mr. El-Rufa’i stated this at the commissioning ceremony of a 1,500-seater capacity hall named after him at the Federal College of Education (FCE), Zaria, Kaduna State.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the edifice was constructed by the college through the Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFUND). Mr. El-Rufa’i said that despite the large number of unqualified teachers, “we do not intend to sack anybody, but we want them to upgrade their knowledge. “We are lucky to have FCE, Institute of Education, Ahmadu Bello University (ABU), among other teacher training institutions in the state, which are going to be used to advance the knowledge of the teachers.” While thanking FCE for the gesture, Mr. El-Rufa’i advised the management of the institution to introduce more degree courses to enable people benefit more from the college services.
