Sani also recalled the historical support from Kuwait in the early 1960s, during the era of the Northern Regional Government led by Sir Ahmadu Bello.
He noted that Kuwaiti assistance at the time contributed significantly to the establishment of schools and industries in the region. According to him, those institutions have since produced millions of graduates.
This latest intervention is expected to drastically reduce the number of out-of-school children in Kaduna, which has consistently ranked high in national statistics on education deficits.
The Kuwait Fund’s partnership is part of efforts to improve human capital development in Nigeria, especially in underserved regions.
