Gov Yusuf Approves Promotion of over 18,000 SUBEB Staff, Releases N235.1m for Implementation
Ahmad Sorondinki in Kano Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf of Kano State has approved the implementation of promotions for 18,984 teaching and non-teaching staff of the State Universal Basic Education Board
The State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB) is the agency responsible for managing primary and junior secondary education in Nigeria's states, including recruitment, welfare and career progression of teaching and non-teaching staff. Delayed promotions in state education boards have long been a source of grievance among civil servants across Nigeria, often tied to budgetary constraints and bureaucratic bottlenecks, with staff unions periodically pressing state governments to clear backlogs and release accompanying funds.
Coverage from ThisDay and Punch agrees on the core details: Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf approved the promotion of 18,984 SUBEB teaching and non-teaching staff in Kano State, alongside the release of N235.1 million to implement the exercise. Neither report specifies when the promotions take effect, how long the backlog had persisted, or the breakdown of how the funds will be disbursed across staff cadres.
