Like Edo, Kano also postpones resumption of schools for ‘urgent reasons’

A few days after the Edo State government announced the shifting of the resumption date for the 2024/2025 academic session as a result of the recent hike in fuel prices, the Kano State Government has also postponed the resumption date of Primary and secondary schools in the state.

The Director of Public Enlightenment in the State Ministry of Education, Balarabe Kiru, who made this known in a statement on Saturday, said the directives came from Commissioner for Education, Alhaji Umar Doguwa, noting that the decision was compelled by some undisclosed ‘urgent reasons’.

Kiru, however, assured that a new date for the school’s resumption would soon be announced by the ministry

“I wish to inform pupils, students and parents that the announcement earlier made for school resumption on 8th and 9th Sept 2024 is now being postponed,” Kiru said in the statement.

”This is due to some urgent reasons that will help in improving the provision of a conducive learning atmosphere for our children.

‘Another day for the resumption will be announced in due course,” he added.

The ministry however, appealed for understanding from affected parties, particularly students and parents/guardians, regarding any inconvenience stemming from the postponement.
