The rest include, the need for SUBEB and education Secretaries to institutionalize the engagement of community and religious leaders in all aspects of school projects, planning, monitoring and sustainability initiatives.
In another development, the member representing Zungur/Galambi/Miri constituency Sa’adu Yusuf Ahmed has presented a motion on the need for ward level consideration in employment by the executive arm of government for equitable representation and inclusiveness.
