The Kano State Science and Technical Schools Board has received fresh assurances of support from the Kano Old Science Students Association (KASSOSA) toward strengthening science education in the state.
President of KASSOSA, Malam Balarabe Nuhu Jalla Dambatta, made the pledge shortly after a stakeholders’ meeting held at Government Technical College, Kano, organized by the Science and Technical Schools Board.
He noted that the association has consistently extended support to teaching and learning across all science colleges in the state, stressing that both individual class chapters and the mother association regularly complement government efforts to ensure the delivery of quality science education.

According to him, KASSOSA’s interventions go beyond education, as the association also empowers old students with entrepreneurship skills and other initiatives designed to make them self-reliant.
Malam Balarabe further urged sister associations from technical colleges under the Board to emulate KASSOSA’s initiatives in order to revive the lost glory of science and technical education in Kano.
Speaking earlier, the Principal of Day Science College, Kano, Malam Abba Tukur, commended the intervention of the Kano State Government, noting that the college had already taken shape following recent improvements. He expressed optimism that the measures would raise the school’s standards in line with other reputable science colleges.
During the meeting, a 13-man committee was inaugurated and tasked with identifying the challenges facing science colleges in the state and recommending solutions.
It will be recalled that following a viral video report by journalist and whistleblower Bello Ghaladanchi, popularly known as Dan Bello, Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf visited Day Science College and pledged a comprehensive renovation. The college, despite its historical contributions to the state, had long suffered neglect and dilapidation.
