Kano state government has revoked the certificate of all private primary and secondary schools in the wake of the abduction and murder of five-year-old Hanifa Abubakar.
Mallam Muhammad Sanusi, the State’s commissioner for education disclosed this today while addressing journalists in Kano on Monday, January 24, 2022.

According to the Commissioner, the development was made in a bid to get all private schools re-certified through a screening panel that will be constituted.
