Some of the Schools that have so far benefited from the Gombe State Government’s drive to holistically reposition the education sector include Junior Secondary Schools Malam Inna, Nayinawa, Gelengu, Sangaru and Vocational Training Centre Nafada.

The Executive Chairman of the State Universal Basic Education Board , SUBEB Hon. Babaji Babadidi attributed the successes so far recorded in basic education in the State to Governor Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya’s commitment towards revamping the sector for optimal productivity.

He said apart from the one hundred and thirty one blocks of classrooms so far completed in various communities across the State, some other forty three blocks of classrooms are at various stages of completion and will soon be ready for use.
