The Kaduna State Government has banned all social events, weddings, shows and entertainment in public school premises, the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Education, Dr Yusuf Saleh, has disclosed.
Speaking in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Kaduna, Saleh said that the move was to protect school infrastructure from vandals.
“For a very long time some of our schools were being used for all kinds of activities, and at the end of the day, school facilities were being vandalised.
“Every day, we receive complaints and demands from citizens to construct, renovate, or fix one facility or the other in schools, and this involves a lot of money.
