The Emir of
Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II, has called on Northern leaders to promote girl-child
education in the region.
Sanusi
made the call during the inauguration of Aminu Dabo College of Health Sciences
laboratory complex in Kano on Monday.
He
urged the leaders to give priority to female education as they did with their
male counterparts.
”The
people need to prioritise their commitment toward the education of female just
like their male counterpart.
“We appeal
to everybody, especially well- meaning individuals irrespective of party
differences, to provide the environment to aid girl-child education,” he said.
The
monarch also admonished the people of Kano to support each other and work as a
team for the overall development of the state.
He
commended the proprietor of the school for his foresight and contribution to
the development of education in the state.
Earlier,
the proprietor of the school, Alhaji Aminu Dabo, had said that the school was
established two years ago to promote educational development in the state.
He said
that 80 per cent of the institution’s students’ population was women.
Dabo added
that the school would collaborate with Kwara University and another university
in Malaysia for degree courses.
He
commended the Kano Emir for his stance on girl-child education and also thanked
him for honoring the invitation to the event.
