10 private schools built with wooden slabs closes by Kwara Government

Kwara State Governor, Alhaji Abdulfatah Ahmed

The Kwara Government on Friday said it had closed down 10 private schools built with wooden slabs and operating without due authorisation from the state government.

Hajia Zainab Bello, the Director, Quality Assurance Bureau (QAB) of the Kwara Ministry of Education and Human Capital Development, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Ilorin that the schools were unsuitable for child learning.

Bello said that these schools were closed down due to poor infrastructure and unconducive learning environment.

She said that the pupils could not assimilate well in an untidy environment.

The director assured of the state’s government commitment to ensure quality education, stressing that government would continue to close illegal private schools.
