Governor Abba Yusuf has granted approval for the distribution of permanent and pensionable appointment letters to 1,600 newly recruited watchmen assigned to secondary schools throughout the state.
This announcement was made in a statement by the governor’s spokesperson, Sunusi Bature, on Wednesday.
