The Kano State Private and Voluntary Institutions Board has ordered nine private schools to shut for seven days over alleged violations of registration revalidation and recertification requirements.

The closure took effect on Monday, October 12, 2026, following the board’s findings that the affected institutions had failed to comply with the prescribed regulatory procedures.

The Executive Secretary of the board, Comrade Baba Abubakar Umar, disclosed the development during a media parley in Kano, where he outlined the board’s efforts to ensure private schools operate in line with established regulations.

Umar said the board had identified 111 schools operating outside the required procedures, warning that institutions that reopened without official approval would face legal action.

He urged private school proprietors to comply with the revalidation and recertification requirements, including renewing their operating licences for the 2026/2027 academic session.

According to the executive secretary, the seven-day closure was part of measures to enforce compliance and ensure that private and voluntary educational institutions meet the state’s regulatory standards.

The board’s action places renewed attention on the oversight of private schools in Kano State, where registration and certification requirements are intended to ensure that institutions operate with the necessary approvals.

Umar warned that schools that disregarded the closure order or resumed operations without clearance from the relevant authorities would face legal consequences.

He also called on proprietors to regularise their registration status and complete the necessary documentation to avoid further sanctions.

The identification of 111 schools operating outside prescribed procedures suggests that the board is examining compliance beyond the nine institutions directly affected by the latest shutdown order.

However, the available details did not establish whether the remaining schools had also been issued closure notices or given specific deadlines to address their outstanding requirements.

The board did not provide further details on the individual breaches recorded against each of the nine schools or whether any of the affected institutions had begun the process of regularising their status.

The enforcement action is expected to require affected proprietors to engage with the board and fulfil the relevant conditions before resuming academic activities.

Parents and guardians with children enrolled in the affected institutions may need to confirm the schools’ status with the board before sending pupils back to classes.

The board’s warning also serves as a reminder to private school operators to maintain valid licences and comply with registration procedures throughout the academic year.

Further clarification from the board is expected to establish the conditions the affected schools must meet before they can reopen.
