It could be recalled that the Katsina State Government says it will recruit 5,000 holders of National Certificate of Education (NCE) under its programme tagged ‘S-Power’ to shore up its teaching staff in primary schools.
Mr. Masari said the programme, which is similar to that of the Federal Government’s ‘N-Power programme’, was aimed at reducing unemployment especially among the teeming unemployed youths.
He said the programme was part of the administration’s determination to fight unemployment and reduce poverty in the state.
According to him, the NCE holders will be posted to teach in primary schools to improve the development of education in the state.
