The Kwara State Government has closed down 99 illegitimate and sub-standard private schools across the three senatorial districts of the state.
This was made known last Thursday in a statement issued by the Press Secretary of the state Ministry of Education and Human Capital Development, Kamaldeen Aliagan.
According to the statement, the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry, Hajia Mariam Ayodeji Garba, said the proprietors of the affected schools failed to abide by the rules and regulations of the state government in establishing their learning centres.
She however warned that the present administration under Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq won’t compromise commonplace within the education sector and other sectors of the economy.
Garba said the Abdulrazaq administration is committed to qualitative education that will see pupils and students of Kwara compete favourably with their colleagues from other parts of the country and the world.
