Governor of Kano State, Abdullahi Ganduje, has blamed Rabiu
Kwankwaso, his predecessor, for the slow education sector in the state.
Ganduje on Wednesday said that Kwankwaso destroyed education in Kano during his administration because had a “shallow education”
He accused Kwankwaso’s administration of leaving behind debt running
into billions of naira as outstanding fees of the students due to his
inability to introduce wise approach to education policies in the state.
According to him, “Kwankwaso’s failure in managing education during
his tenure, stemmed out from his alleged inability “to comprehend that
education policies need plans.”
Ganduje said this while speaking on Wednesday during the official
inauguration of the committee for the payment of scholarship allowances
to internal students, The Cable reports.
Ganduje said: “Where did he attend engineering course and graduate
from? This is somebody who failed his Common Entrance examination during
his primary school days.
“It was because Rabi’u Musa Kwankwaso failed his exams then, that he
was sent to Craft School. It was known to all that, in those days, those
who failed, sometimes woefully, in their primary education, were sent
to such Craft schools
“When we first came to power, together with Hafiz Abubakar as his
deputy in 2015, Kwankwaso ignorantly blamed us for negligence in
handling education sector in the state.
“We are doing this, simply because he is too proud. But which wise approach does he have when his education is shallow
“Just imagine, a person who failed his primary school examination and
only managed to attend Craft school, will now come out boldly and
accuse a professor and a PhD holder that they didn’t know how to best
handle education. Is this not deception and ignorance?
“When Kwankwaso was sending students abroad, he didn’t bother to do an excellent planning for it.
“Most states from Nigeria that sent their students then, withdrew
them because of how the dollar skyrocketed. But in our own case, I said
we would not withdraw a single student, but instead we continued paying
with tears. As at now, many of them have graduated.”
