In a video interview published this weekend, Dahuru had expressed appreciation for the gesture but appealed for a permanent job.
Through its commissioner of education, Muhammad Sanusi Sa’id Kiru, the state government had reached out to Dahuru on Saturday following the video publication.
He had invited Dahuru to Government House, Kano, where he met with Ganduje.
The governor was asked the young blind teacher what he wanted the state government to do for him. He reiterated his earlier appeal for permanent and pensionable employment.
Ganduje, after that, directed Dahuru to be offered a permanent and pensionable teaching job at Special Education School, Tudun Maliki, in Grade 7(2).
This is the same school Dahuru had his primary and secondary education.
Dahuru is currently studying at the National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN) on a full scholarship courtesy of Professor Uba Abdallah, the immediate past Vice-Chancellor of the institution.
