Governor Malam Umar Namadi of Jigawa State has approached the Islamic Development Bank, IsDB, to secure $110 million in financing to tackle education challenges in the region. This proposal, known as the SMART Project, aims to address inadequate school infrastructure, teacher development, and poor learning environments. The IsDB delegation led by Mr. Imtiaz Alam received a courtesy visit at Government House, Dutse, where the governor disclosed this information.
The project will also benefit two other participating states. This partnership presents an excellent opportunity for Jigawa to enhance access to quality education and address existing issues within the education sector. The governor's administration has been actively implementing measures to improve school enrolment, retention, and learning outcomes.
However, the proposed IsDB-supported project will complement these efforts by providing additional resources. The project's objectives include constructing new schools, rehabilitating existing facilities, providing water and sanitation infrastructure, and offering teacher training and capacity building. These initiatives aim to create a more conducive teaching and learning environment, ultimately enabling students to compete favorably in their future endeavors.
