Kano state government has revoked the certificate of all private schools operating in the state.
Special Adviser to the Governor on private and voluntary institutions, Baba Abubakar Umar, announced this at a meeting with the proprietors of the private schools on Saturday, August 12.
Umar said all the schools were expected to collect new registration form to fill for new certificates to be issued.
Umar explained that the action underscored the government’s resolve to ensure that private schools adhered to the prescribed laws and regulations for operating in the state.
“Private school proprietors are reminded of their responsibility to pay the 10 per cent tax to the government. This financial commitment always propels advancements in the sector,” he said.
