Mr Yusuf said the programme reflected the administration’s focus on education, youth empowerment, and social welfare.
He said the administration of Governor Abba Kabir-Yusuf also approved N484 million for the renovation of schools across the 484 wards in Kano.
Mr Makoda urged students to resume on the scheduled date to avoid disciplinary action.
The state Commissioner for Education, Ali Makoda, gave the directive for an immediate and transparent investigation into the incident.
Mr Kiru added that pupils and students in day schools were expected to resume on Monday, June 16, 2025.
The commissioner urged parents and community members to collaborate with the government to ensure every child has access to quality education.
Mr Makoda said Governor Abba Yusuf’s administration inherited a “failed and decayed education system.”
According to him, public and private boarding schools will resume on April 6, while day schools will resume on April 7.
He said the move was to alleviate financial burdens of families struggling to meet their children’s education needs.
“We spend N400 million monthly on diesel, N387 million on chemicals, while electricity bills take N280 million,” said Kano’s water resources commissioner.
