The Kano State chapter of the National Association of Proprietors of Private Colleges of Education (NAPPCOE) has elected interim executive members to steer the affairs of the association for the next two years.
A statement signed by the association’s Head of Media, Ado Salisu, said the election was conducted during the association’s inaugural meeting held in Kano.
According to the statement, Alhaji Sani Yusuf Jogana was elected Chairman unopposed, while Hajia Hauwa’u Sani and Professor Abubakar Abdullahi Bichi emerged as Vice Chairman and Secretary respectively.
Other members of the interim executive are Hajia Bilkisu Abdullahi Turaki, Treasurer; Barrister Yusuf Abdullahi, Legal Adviser; Bilal Aliyu Musa, Public Relations Officer; and Ado Salisu, Head of Media.
Speaking shortly after his election, the Chairman, Alhaji Sani Yusuf Jogana, called for collective efforts to ensure the success of the association and contribute to the development of education in Kano State and Nigeria.
Jogana urged members to give the association their maximum support and cooperation, particularly in partnering with the Kano State Government under the leadership of Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf to advance the education sector.
He said Kano State still had a significant gap to bridge in education due to rising demand, stressing that private institutions must work closely with the government to address the challenges and promote the overall development of education across the state.
Earlier, the proprietor of Almustapha College of Education, Professor Abubakar Abdullahi Bichi, called on proprietors of private colleges to contribute their quota to the advancement of education in Kano State and the country.
Similarly, the proprietor of Dala College of Education, Alhaji Aliyu Musa, described the association as an important platform for driving development in the education sector.
He stressed the benefits of collective responsibility, noting that government alone could not shoulder all the responsibilities of developing education across the state.
