L.E.A Primary School In Kaduna Auctioned To Build Showroom – Shehu Sani

Former lawmaker representing Kaduna Central senatorial district, Senator Shehu Sani, has backed Governor Uba Sani’s revocation of sales of houses within the legacy public schools in Kaduna State.

Shehu Sani stated that the previous administration auctioned a whole L.E.A primary school inside Kaduna to a businessman to build his showroom.

Recall that Kaduna State governor, Uba Sani, had revoked previous sales of institutional houses and land allocations within Alhuda-huda College, Zaria, Queen Amina College, Kaduna and Government Commercial College, Zaria.

Apparently reacting to Kaduna State governor’s action, Shehu Sani, a human rights activist who made this known on his verified Facebook page yesterday said most of the lands belonging to public schools attended by children of the poor have been carved out and shared to individuals to build mansions.

Sani explained that most principals, headmasters and teachers in Kaduna live very far away from their schools “because their official quarters have been allocated or generously given to one political loyalist.”

Shehu Sani said, “Many Staff Quarters and public schools lands in Kaduna were also shared to politicians as political favours or compensation for political loyalties. There was the case of a whole L.E.A primary school inside Kaduna that was auctioned to a businessman to build his showroom. Most Principals, Headmasters and Teachers in Kaduna live very far away from their schools because their official quarters have been allocated or generously given to one political loyalist.

“In Kaduna State, most of the lands belonging to public schools attended by children of the poor have been caved out and shared to individuals to build their mansions. These were schools that were either built by the colonial masters or by the late Sardauna of Sokoto Ahmadu Bello. Most of these schools have been reduced to blocks of classrooms with no enough conducive learning environments.

“Schools like Technical College Malali, established by Sardauna, GGSS Kawo, Government College Kaduna, Sardauna Memorial College, Rimi College, Kaduna Teachers College and many more have their teachers’ quarters or staff quarters ridiculously auctioned to rich people who have the means to go elsewhere and build their mansions.

“It’s unconscionable and sad to see wealthy people whose children are in expensive private schools now taking over lands belonging to public schools for themselves and their children.

In some cases, they even build shopping malls on lands designated for public schools.”
