BEVERLY HILLS, December 16, (THEWILL) – Kano State governor, Abdullahi Ganduje, has approved the closure of all public and private schools in the state.
A statement by the Commissioner for Health, Muhammad Sanusi Kiru, advised parents whose children are in boarding schools to “arrange and convey their children/wards back home” from Wednesday, 16th December 2020.
No official reason was given for the directive, which came three days to the end of the third term. All schools in the state are expected to close on Friday, Dec. 18.
However, this came as more than 300 students in a boarding school at Kankara Local Government Area of neighbouring Katsina State were abducted.
Also, the Kano State Government has expressed concerns over the sudden upsurge in COVID-19 cases in the State, where 85 persons recently tested positive in a space of 10 days.
