NIGERIA – Kaduna State Governor, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai seems to be in tune with agitation for political office holders to send their children and wards to public schools as part of efforts to reform public schools. His son, Al-Siddique El-Rufai today enrolled as a primary one pupil of Kaduna Capital School, a public school in the state.
Nigerians have argued that public schools are neglected becasue children of politicians are either in public schools or are in over sea schools.
But setting the record straight, Mallam Nasir El-rufai posted photograph of himself holding his son clad in the uniform of public school.
He also wrote “Reforming the Education sector in Kaduna is a continuing struggle against decades of neglect.
“But the @nelrufai govt has a strong commitment to fix public education and raise the standard of public schools so that private education will become only a luxury”, his aides wrote on his fan page.
On 28 Dec 2017, Malam Nasir @nelrufai stated that “I will by personal example ensure that my son that will be six years of age in 2019 will be enrolled in a public school in Kaduna State, by God’s grace.
“Abubakar Al-Siddique El-Rufai has today enrolled as a Primary One pupil of Kaduna Capital School”, he said.
