Governor Nasir
El-Rufai addressing the press
|
Kaduna State Governor,
Nasir El-Rufai, has vowed to arrest parents who refuse to send their children
to school. He
also threatened to sanction any religious leader that preaches against western
education.
Speaking
during a town hall meeting with the people of Kaduna Central Senatorial Zone on
Saturday, Governor El-Rufai noted that the north was educationally backward,
because most parents had refused to allow their children to go to school and
acquire western education.
The
Governor stated that, with the measures being put in place by his
administration to provide free tuition fees, free meals, free uniforms and
qualitative infrastructure in public schools, parents have no excuse not to
educate their children.
