Kano State Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje has offered an automatic teaching employment to a blind person, Dahuru Abdulhamid Idris, who has been teaching voluntarily.

This was contained in a statement issued by Chief Press Secretary to the governor, Abba Anwar on Sunday.

Solacebase reports that Dahuru Abdulhamid Idris, 28, was born with visual impairment (blindness) in the Kofar Dawanau quarters, Dala Local Government Area , Kano State.

In a recent interview with Daily Trust, Dahuru said he obtained a National Certificate in Education (NCE) in English/Political Science from the Aminu Kano College of Islamic and Legal Studies and has been serving as a volunteer teacher in a community school in his area since 2014.

‘’After ushering the blind young man to the governor by the Commissioner of Education, Muhammadu Sanusi Kiru, governor Ganduje directed that, the visually impaired person, be posted to Tudun Maliki Special Education School,’’ said the statement.

“You are a real model, whose visual impairment does not stand as a stumbling block for your development.’’
