Abductions: Ganduje orders closure of 4 tertiary institutions in Kano
Kano State Government has announced the immediate closure of four tertiary institutions in the state, following the latest spate of mass abductions of students in some Northern states.
This comes barely a day after Peoples Gazette reported that governor Abdullahi Ganduje ordered the closure of 12 out of over 50 boarding secondary schools due to fear of attack.
State education commissioner, Mariya Bunkure, said the government took the decision after observing the current situation of attacks on schools in neighbouring states.
Affected Institutions listed by Ms. Bunkere are; RMK college of Advanced and Remedial Studies T/Wada, School of Environmental Studies Gwarzo, School of Rural Technology and Entrepreneurship Dev ( SORTED) Rano, and ABCOAD, Dambatta.
On Friday, the government urged parents to vacate their children and wards from the 12 secondary schools shut as government will announce the resumption date.
The Gazette reported that the affected schools include, boarding Secondary School Ajingi; Government Girls boarding School Sumaila; Government Girls boarding School Jogana, and Government Girls boarding School Gezawa.
Others include Government Boys boarding School Kafin Maiyaki; Maitama Sule boarding School Gaya; Government Girls boarding School Kachako.
