Deputy governor of Bauchi state, H.E Mohammed Auwal Jatau, Monday reaffirmed his personal commitment towards supporting the state government towards ensuring effective teaching and learning across all the educational institutions in the state.

Speaking at the 10th year anniversary of the Government Girls College, Sakwa, in Zaki local government area of the state, Jatau recalled his effort during the administration of former Governor Malam Isah Yuguda for the upgrade of the college from a teachers’ college to its current status as a Government Girls College.

He noted that the transition was driven by the conviction that investing in girls’ education is vital not only to individual futures, but to societal progress and announced that the administration of Governor Bala Mohammed has not only sustained that vision, but has continued to build on it with bold and strategic investments in education.

As part of his personal support as former head boy in the old Government Teachers College now Government Girls College, Sakwa, the deputy governor installed solar-powered streetlights within the school premises to enhance security, and creating a conducive environment for both students and staff.

“This college holds a special place in my heart. As a former head boy of the old Government Teachers’ College, Sakwa, I still remember those early morning assemblies, the lessons under the mango trees, and the values instilled in us by passionate teachers, many of whom laid the foundation of what we have become today.

“So for me returning here today, in this historic institution now known as Government Girls College, Sakwa, is not just a political engagement, but a homecoming, a journey through memory, and a reaffirmation of my lifelong commitment to the progress of this great community.”
