Ajaero also extolled the significant achievements in the education sector, including the employment of 2,000 qualified teachers and the renovation and construction of schools at all levels. These efforts aim to boost education in the state. Furthermore, he verified the payment of scholarships to students from Kebbi studying both domestically and internationally, alongside the provision of free education in all public primary and secondary schools.

"Some governors don't even dare to announce their presence or even wind down their glasses while they are in their states," Ajaero remarked, highlighting the unique rapport between Governor Idris and the people of Kebbi. "If they do so, they will collect."
