Army to Establish 6 Command Schools in Kano

Yakubu Salisu, Kano

The Nigerian army in collaboration with the Kano State Government has concluded plans to establish six command secondary schools within the three senatorial Districts of the state.

This was made known to news men when a delegation from Nigerian Army Headquarters led by Maj. Gen. Felix O. Agugo paid Gov. Ganduje a courtesy call at his office.

Agugo explained that the delegation of five-men was in Kano to inspect the project sites and to brief the governor on how to go about the project successfully and that the proposed Command Schools would go a long way in improving military – civil relations.

Ganduje stated that his administration requested the Army to establish the schools, so that children in the state would access high quality leaning experience and moral excellence, typical of Command Schools.

In his words, “The move would also open opportunities for our children to enroll in the military and to become more exposed, since children from all over the country usually get admitted to Command Schools”, the governor maintained, adding that such schools also play a big role in fostering national unity.

Already, the state government has gone far in erecting classrooms, offices, laboratories, dormitories and other infrastructure, besides putting in place facilities at the sites, in addition to providing ample space for future expansion.

Gov. Ganduje expressed optimism that the infrastructure provided by the government would be adopted to start what he called “Command Boarding Secondary Schools”, even as he wanted the schools to become fully functional next year.

The schools are expected to be established at Yadakwari, Garun Malam local government, Dausayi, Ungoggo local government, Rimin Gado, Rimin Gado local government, D/Tofa, D/Tofa local government, Riruwai, Doguwa local government and Kiru in Kiru local government area.
