Kano State Governor Abba Yusuf approves the promotion of 18,984 teaching and non-teaching staff of the State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB), according to reports.

One outlet says the approval is part of the state’s ongoing efforts to manage staffing within the basic education system. Another source adds details on the financial side, reporting that the governor approves ₦235.1 million for the promotions in 2026 and also addresses promotion arrears that reportedly date back as far as seven years for some staff.

Both accounts present the decision as an administrative measure affecting SUBEB staff in Kano, with the wider emphasis on implementing promotions and, where noted, clearing long-pending arrears.
