The Kaduna State government in conjunction with the Islamic Development Bank has concluded plans to build four more science secondary schools in the state to promote science education.
Speaking at the bid opening in Kaduna, the Commissioner for Science and Technology, Mr. David Chatjok, said the project was aimed at promoting science and complementing the already existing science secondary schools.
“The schools include Girls Science Secondary School in Sabon Gari Local Government , Boys’ Science Secondary School in Rigachikun, Girls’ Science Secondary School in Kaduna Millennium City and the Boys’’ Science Secondary School Manchok, covering the three senatorial zones of the state jointly sponsored by the Islamic Development Bank and the Kaduna State government.

“We have received over 100 bids and the project was envisaged to promote science education in the state, because at the moment, the science secondary schools we have are not adequate. The state government awarded contracts for the renovation of these schools and supply of equipment to uplift their standards,” he said.
