The Katsina State Government has said that shortage of funds has contributed a lot to the delay in development of some parts of the education sector since the inception of Governor Aminu Masari’s administration.
The state’s Commissioner for Education, Prof. Badamasi Lawal, who disclosed this while speaking to newsmen on Monday in his office, said the challenge had affected every sector.
The commissioner, who was responding to newsmen on some dilapidated school structures, added that the government could not do everything at the same time.
According to him, with the shortage of funds, the state government had done a lot in terms of schools, partial renovation, full rehabilitation and construction of new ones.
Be said, “Despite the shortage of funds this government found itself, almost every other structure was dilapidated when the government came on board in 2015.
“But I am happy to say, look at the enormous development this government brought in education, before you look at the other side where it’s still waiting.
“We know it is waiting, it is not a hidden thing. We can not go round at the same time because of the shortage of funds.
