Nigerians react
Mathew Mbom commented on Facebook:
"This is a very welcomed idea as long as it is done with integrity. Secondly I suggest you hold on No. 6 (uploading the names of the indicted teachers) until you have finished your judicial process.
"Thirdly, for future purposes, your organisation of screening and examination for recruitment is very poor and needs improvement. Thank you"
Ibrahim Ibb said:
"I have no option than to commend you this time around for involving professional teacher training institutions like FCE Zaria, COE Gidan waya and National Teachers Institute to conduct test for Kaduna State SUBEB Teachers.
"This time around you are on the right track. The good work you picked up for verifying the certificate presented by such teachers is also very commendable. Teaching is a profession that requires professionals in that field to practice it in as much as we want this country to develop further."
Mustapha Abdulkadir Achidah said:
"This is welcome development I hope my Dear state will emulate from Kaduna state govt for the betterment of our younger ones."
Shafa Maikasuwa Musa said:
"Committed and selfless Governor with vision and mission. You too much abeg. Continue with your good work, The Lord is your strength."
