"Our 12-point agenda is designed to make Jigawa State great, including through providing access to quality education for all children in the state, and to achieve this, we must bridge our teacher gap," the governor said at the occasion.
"That is why we employed this number now, and we will continue doing this until we have teachers in every classroom.
"In addition to our commitment to achieve this, we sent over 120 students to study medicine in Cyprus and India, launched the construction of the N5.5 billion School of Nursing and Midwifery, and established three tertiary health institutions in the state."
The Chairman of the Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB) in the state, Haruna Musa, said the newly employed teachers had served as temporary teachers for two years under the state government's programme known as 'J-Teach.'
