The governorship candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Sokoto State, Hon. Manir Muhammad Dan’iya, has said the shutdown of public primary and secondary schools across most parts of the state shows that the government has failed to tackle insecurity.
Dan’iya made the remarks in a statement issued by his media aide, Aminu Abdullahi.
He expressed concern over the suspension of academic activities in 20 of the state’s 23 local government areas.
He noted that only Sokoto North, Sokoto South and Wamakko Local Government Areas were exempted.
According to him, the decision may have been taken to protect pupils, teachers and other education workers, but it also highlights the worsening security situation in the state.
“While closing schools may be necessary to protect lives, it clearly shows how far insecurity has spread and the government’s inability to provide a safe environment for teaching and learning,” he said.
