The state government released the scripts on its twitter handle, @GovKaduna, and invited Nigerians to make their verdict on the issue.
The government stated: “We are putting these out in the court of public opinion for Nigerians to make their verdict. Here are some of the primary 4 competency test scripts conducted for primary school teachers in Kaduna State.”
It further asked: "Should these teachers be allowed to teach our kids?"

Following the sack of the 'incompetent' teachers, the Kaduna state governor, Nasir El-Rufai, has also addressed the state House of Assembly, justifying his decision.
He stated in part: "Many times, the decisions we take offer us no political advantages in a polity long accustomed to the false allure of populism. But we do what is necessary, not minding the direct impact on us."

Recall that NAIJ.com previously reported that Nasir El-Rufai, the Kaduna state governor, disclosed that about 21,780 out of 33,000 teachers failed the primary four test administered to test their competence by the state government.
Governor el-Rufai made this known while receiving a World Bank’s delegation in the state.
He said: ''We tested our 33,000 primary school teachers, we gave them primary four examination and required they must get at least 75 per cent but I am sad to announce that 66 per cent of them failed to get the requirements."
