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.”
