Kwankwasiyya group faults scrapping of Kano higher education ministry

The Kwankwasiyya Movement criticizes the merging of the Kano State Ministry of Higher Education with the Ministry of Education, calling it politically motivated.

The Kwankwasiyya Movement has expressed strong disapproval of the Kano State Government's decision to dissolve the Ministry of Higher Education and integrate it into the Ministry of Education. The group's spokesperson, Habibu Mohammed, stated that this action represents a politically charged move that indicates a diminishing commitment to effective governance. They argue that the government's justification for administrative reform does not accurately reflect the underlying motivations for this significant change.

In their statement, the Kwankwasiyya Movement emphasizes that the merger takes place under the guise of administrative restructuring, which raises serious questions regarding the government's priorities. They contend that such decisions should be made in the best interest of education and governance, rather than as a response to political dynamics. The criticism suggests that reform efforts are being used as a facade to conceal deeper political disputes.

The movement also points to political unrest, particularly concerning Deputy Governor Aminu Gwarzo, who had been responsible for overseeing the Ministry of Higher Education. The timing of the dissolution raises suspicions that it is intended to penalize Gwarzo for his political stance and refusal to disconnect from the Kwankwasiyya Movement. This situation highlights the underlying tensions in Kano State's political landscape, questioning the integrity of administrative decisions made by the government.
