“On reforming private education, the PDP advised Kano State government under the leadership of Dr Abdullahi Umar Ganduje to comply with due process, in accordance with the law establishing the Kano State Private School Board, which regulates the activities of all non-public schools in the state.’’
“We learnt that Governor Ganduje has withdrawn the operating licence of all private schools in the state, With all sense of humility and patriotism, we will like to caution the state government, not to use this opportunity to extort money from the proprietors of private schools in the state”
“Despite the importance of reforming the private education sub-sector, which has been long overdue, the Kano state government should not see it as a window of opportunity to extort money from the schools proprietors.
“The party is hereby extending its heartfelt condolences to the family of the late Hanifa and the good people of Kano over the unfortunate incident that has aroused deep sorrow and sympathy among members of the public.”
