The Zamfara State Government has scheduled a Computer-Based Test (CBT) for thousands of candidates who applied for the 3,050 basic education teaching slots across the state. The management of Zamfara Information Technology Development Agency (ZITDA) announced this in a circular released at the weekend. The CBT follows Governor Dauda Lawal’s approval for the recruitment of 3,050 basic school teachers through an open, merit-based digital portal targeted at underserved and rural schools. This additional recruitment followed an earlier hiring of 4,000 teachers and upgrading of 789 schools by the governor in a move to overhaul the education sector in the state. The governor had earlier recruited another set of 500 science teachers who were deployed across the 14 local government areas in the state to address the critical shortage of science educators in secondary schools. The ZITDA circular said the screening committee had shortlisted 6,412 applicants.
