The commissioner further said that the empowerment program is part of the government's effort toward improving people's lives and development of education in the state.

Idris also said that 20 secondary schools were selected from the state's three senatorial zones for the take-off of the programme.

An unknown citizen of Katsina state who commented about the empowerment program said the goats were given out to only female students in secondary schools to rear for a year.

He added that the students are expected to return the mother goats to the government and have the kids for themselves.

After the State governor sacked almost 22,000 teachers who failed the competency test, most Governors in the Northern region in Nigeria are looking to improve the state of education in their state.
