Shehu Sani condemned the neglect of public schools in the northern region

Former Senator representing Kaduna Central, Shehu Sani, has decried the poor state of public schools in northern Nigeria.

Sani, who was speaking at the 40th anniversary of the Government Science College, Kagara, expressed fears of the collapse of government schools in the region if the situation continues.

The event was organized by the Kagara Old Boys Association (KAGOBA), Class of 1984 in Minna, Niger State, on Saturday.

The former member of parliament recalled that state schools used to be the best because they had teachers and lecturers from within and outside the country.

He said: “It is a shame that today, some of the state schools that have produced the best people in the history of this country, are not what they used to be.

“Back in school, our teachers came from Pakistan, India, Canada and Egypt. Those teachers produced professors, doctors, engineers, senators, captains of industry and army generals, and many more.

“What is happening in public schools today is a disaster. The North Korean government must take education seriously.”

He lamented that the activities of bandits and terrorists had destroyed all educational facilities in northern Nigeria.

Sani expressed his concern that GSC Kagara which has produced some of the best professionals in the country is now desolate and deserted due to attacks by bandits which saw many students kidnapped.

However, he supported moving the school to Minna on a temporary basis, adding that security had been improved under President Bola Tinubu’s administration.
