The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) has criticised the Abdullahi Ganduje administration’s decision to revoke all private school operating licenses in Kano State.
Sunusi Sa’id Kiru, the state Commissioner of Education, stated on Monday that all private schools in the state will lose their operating permits.
He added that the state government took the step in response to the kidnapping and subsequent murder of 5-year-old Hanifa Abubakar by Abdulmalik Tanko, the owner of the school she attends, Noble Kids Academy.
Kiru announced that a committee made up of officials from the state ministries of education, justice, and security, as well as other relevant stakeholders, will now assess and approve the licenses of private schools in the state.
On Tuesday, SERAP responded to the news on Twitter, condemning the state government’s move and claiming that the licenses were revoked in an overly harsh manner.
Governor Ganduje was encouraged by SERAP to reverse the measure since it could worsen the number of out-of-school children.
Kano state, according to the civil organization, has the highest number of children out of school, with 989,234.
It said, “We urge Kano State governor @GovUmarGanduje to immediately rescind the arbitrary suspension of permits for all private schools in the state.
“Kano has the highest number of out-of-school-children (989,234). This blanket closure will drive more children to the street.”
