   By Ahmad Ibrahim, Gusau 
 The Zamfara state government has directed all secondary Schools in the state to include Agricultural Science- based subjects in their curriculum.       The state commissioner of Education, Dr Ibrahim Abdullahi, stated this in Gusau while inauguration a school farm programme and E- Quality Assurance Training, organized by the state Universal Basic Education Board ( ZSUBEB).     Abdullahi said:” Governor Bello Matawalle has directed me to ensure that all secondary Schools in the state include Agricultural science-based subjects in their curriculum.       

This measure is to train students in various Agricultural subjects for them to be exposed to various Agricultural opportunities in future and make them Agricultural experts in future.      “We are going to enforce the directives of the governor, we are going to make sure that all school practice Agricultural activities in the farms. Every student must be given a raw to farm at least 2 meters.      In a remark, the state commissioner of agriculture, Dr Aminu Suleman, described the school farm programme as a welcome development in agriculture.     

Suleman who was represented by the director fisheries and Horticulture in the ministry, Aliyu Ummar, said the programme can never be estimated as it would help in food production and eradicate hunger.   We are going to support schools under this programme with capacity building he assured.        Earlier the SUBEB Chairman, Alhaji Aliyu Abubakar Maradun, said the board is giving serious attention to the two programmes.     

Maradun said the e-quality assurance programme involved effective supervision of school, saying, we are going to train quality assurance officers from 14 local government Areas on effective supervision of schools in the state through modern technology.    We have procured 17 motorcycles for school support Officers (SSOs), tablets for quality assurance Officers, while laptops, printers and desktops are meant for local government Education Authorities.     

On the school farm programme, we are providing dry season farming equipment to 26 schools across the state to implement the programmes.
