Come September, students attending public primary
and secondary schools in Kaduna state will get it all
for free, with free food and uniforms to boot.
Governor Nasir El-Rufai made the promise at the
weekend during a town hall meeting held in Zaria.
"From September your children will attend schools
for 9 years free of charge," the governor said.
"We intend to provide uniform, feeding in our
primary and junior schools in the state.
"There will also be no more PTA fees in our schools."
El Rufai's free education promise is 'laughable,
insulting' — Kaduna governor
It will be recalled that the past governor of the state,
Ramalan Yero, had in the build-up to the 2015
gubernatorial elections described El-Rufai, free
education promise as ''laughable' and 'insulting'.
"It is so laughable for somebody whose children
already school in United Kingdom (UK) because you
don't believe in the system here. Because you had the
opportunity of taking your children there," Yero had
said through his spokesperson, Ahmed Maiyaki.
"This is laughable, insulting for somebody to imagine
that he will provide free education or his children will
come back to public schools when he does not even
have children that will attend school right now."
With the recent announcement, it then seems El-Rufai
is determined to fulfil his campaign promises.
