Kano State’s Commissioner of Education, Hon. Umar Haruna Doguwa, has formed a five-member committee to oversee the planned reopening of the boarding schools that were previously closed down in the state.
The Commissioner emphasized the vital role these schools play in the state’s education system, which prompted the need for the committee’s establishment.
He expressed the necessity of investigating the reasons behind the closure of these schools during the previous administration, which were attributed to security issues.
The Commissioner stated that the committee’s main objective is to gather comprehensive information regarding the circumstances surrounding the closure of the schools, including the specific reasons and methods employed. This is particularly important given the growing demand for educational institutions to accommodate the increasing number of students in the state.
Furthermore, he disclosed that the committee will assess the current status of the schools in terms of infrastructure, physical structures, and security measures. A detailed report on their findings will be submitted to the ministry.
During the committee’s inauguration, Hon. Doguwa urged its members to diligently carry out their responsibilities to ensure the successful reopening of the schools, aligning with the objectives set forth.
He emphasized the commitment of the new state administration, led by Governor Engr. Abba Kabir Yusuf, to revitalize and improve the education sector for the overall benefit of the state.
