Reactions have continued to trail Kaduna State Government
over two press releases contradicting themselves on students’ resumption date.
Some parents expressed concern over the declining education
system, claiming that the aim is to frustrate the educational system in Kaduna
and turn the fortune of younger generations into miserable, Almajiris.
Others said the happenings in the state is a secret plan by
northern mafias to eradicate western education completely since they believe
that educating a child is forbidden.
Recall that Kaduna State Governor, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, at
a stakeholders’ meeting on Monday announced that schools in the state have been
closed indefinitely, explaining that this would allow security operatives to
flush out bandits terrorising students.
A press statement issued by the Kaduna State Commissioner
for Education countered the earlier pronouncement by the governor, describing
it as fake news.
Dr. Moses Wuyep, a resident of the state, whose daughters
are students of Federal Government College, Malali, Kaduna, he said:
“All the dramas being played in the state; Kidnapping,
killings of students and demanding for ransom is just to frustrate
parents/students from studying further.
“If one of your sons is kidnapped and they ask you to pay
just a million Naira. By the time you paid that ransom, you are left with
nothing to even feed, not to talk of sending your son to school again.
When your son refuses to go further, you know what it means.
Social vices step in. All manner of bad character will creep in,” he said
Also speaking on the security threat in the
state, Mrs. Juliana Moses who said people are living by God’s grace said what
is happening in the state, is beyond everyone. According to her, it’s better
for the military to take over than to continue with the present government till
2023 when a new government will set in.
“The saying that children are the leaders of tomorrow is no
longer in vogue.
“Those children were being deprived from attaining education
that will make them become great leaders of tomorrow. They are now frustrated,
while their parents’ are financially handicap as millions of Naira is paid as
ransom,” she said.
