The executive Governor of Kaduna state, Nasir El-Rufai, has ordered all senior civil servants in the state to withdraw their wards from privately owned educational institutions.
The new directive according to the state Governor will take effect from the beginning of the next academic session.
The state Commissioner for Education, Prof. Andrew Nock, while fielding questions on the new directive noted that plans are already in place to restore public schools to their past glory.
He added: “the state government has given order to all directors to withdraw their children from private schools to our own schools”.
The State Commissioner of Education while addressing the issue of failed attempts to implement similar directives in previous administrations said: “our government is not like the previous ones. What we will do is to monitor it to ensure that this order is carried to the latter.”

He listed the affected schools to include: Queen Amina College, Kaduna; Government Girls Secondary School, Kawo; Government Technical College, Malali; Barewa College, Zaria; Girls Science Secondary School, Kwoai; Government College, Kagoro; Government Girls Secondary School, Soba; Government College, Saminaka; Rimi College, Government College, Kaduna, Government Secondary School, Kachia; Government Girls’ College, Zonkwa and Government Secondary School, Giwa.
