Kano State Government has withdrawn the operational licenses it issued to private schools in the State.
The withdrawal may not be unconnected to the murder of a five year old pupil of Noble Kids Comprehensive school, Hanifa Abubakar, who was allegedly killed by her school proprietor.
In a statement made available to the journalists on Monday, the State Commissioner of Education, Sanusi Muhammad Kiru said a committee will soon be set up to monitor the operation of private schools in the state.

He said all private schools in the state are expected to comply accordingly to avoid sanctions.
