Kano Postpones School Resumption Indefinitely Following Edo State’s Delay Over Fuel Price Hike

The Kano State Government has indefinitely postponed the resumption date for primary and secondary schools for the 2024/2025 academic session, citing “urgent reasons” without providing specific details.

This decision follows a similar postponement by the Edo State Government, which also delayed school resumption due to rising petrol prices and related challenges for parents and guardians.

Most schools in Nigeria are scheduled to resume on Monday, September 9. Balarabe Kiru, Director of Public Enlightenment at the Kano State Ministry of Education, announced the postponement and stated that Commissioner for Education Umar Doguwa will announce a new resumption date soon.

Kiru stated, “I wish to inform pupils, students, and parents that the previously scheduled resumption dates of September 8 and 9, 2024, have been postponed.

“This decision is based on urgent reasons aimed at enhancing the learning environment for our children.

“A new date for resumption will be communicated in due course.”
