MAIDUGURI — In demonstrating leadership quality, Governor Babagana Umara Zulum of Borno State has spent a night in Baga, the famous fishing area on the shores of Lake Chad, and interacted with 65 school teachers, where he put them to an impromptu aptitude test to determine the level of their qualifications and ability to teach.
The Governor also interacted with health workers at Baga hospital, and gave support to another 4,798 persons in Baga and Cross Kauwa with humanitarian aid.
Zulum told the teachers that the essence of the aptitude test is not to sack anyone, but to determine their capacity and know where to place them.
“Those that have no capacity to teach would be given a choice, either to redeploy them to administrative department or send them for further training.”
“At the end of each year, every teacher and his pupils will be evaluated and Government will also support them with accommodation and other related services,” Zulum said.
After interacting and revealing their aptitude test results, Zulum announced a package of 20,000 Naira and 10 yards of fabric (Shadda) to each teacher.
The Senior Secondary School’s Principal and the Primary School Head Teacher each got 50,000 Naira and 10 yards of fabric (Shadda).
“As long as you will make meaningful impact on society, we shall support you. We shall evaluate you, and those of you whose salaries need to be upgraded will be updated.”
“Whenever I come back to this town again, I will call a teacher by name and determine the level of his capacity and that of his pupils,” he said.
Zulum also told the teachers that, more pupils’ intake will be encouraged, especially by providing a meal and other support.
