Katsina Govt to Recruit 2,158 Teachers, 80 Health Workers

The Katsina State Government has approved the recruitment of 2,158 teachers for public primary and secondary schools as part of efforts to improve education delivery across the state.

The exercise, approved by Governor Dikko Umaru Radda, will see 1,500 teachers deployed to primary schools and 658 to secondary schools to address staffing gaps and enhance the teacher–pupil ratio.

A committee set up by the government to oversee the process has invited applications from suitably qualified candidates who are indigenes of the state. Applicants are required to apply through the official recruitment portal, where they are expected to select their preferred schools and subject areas.

The committee stated that only candidates who meet the stipulated requirements will be shortlisted for a Computer-Based Test (CBT), warning that multiple applications will result in disqualification.

In a related development, the state government has also approved the recruitment of 80 healthcare personnel for the newly upgraded General Hospital in Dandume.

The recruitment follows the elevation of the Comprehensive Health Centre in the area to a General Hospital, a move aimed at improving access to quality healthcare services.

According to the Katsina State Hospital Services Management Board, vacancies are available for medical officers, nurses, radiographers, laboratory scientists, pharmacists, and other technical and administrative staff.

Applicants are required to possess relevant academic qualifications and valid professional licences. All candidates, except medical doctors, must be indigenes of the state and not above 50 years of age, and must be willing to work in Dandume.

Both recruitment exercises will close on April 10, 2026, with prospective applicants advised to submit their applications within the stipulated timeframe.

The recruitments are part of the state government’s broader efforts to strengthen key sectors and improve public service delivery.
