The Katsina State government has ordered the closure of all private schools in the state for the duration of Ramadan.

In a circular issued by the Katsina State Hisbah Board, the government warned that failure to comply would have consequences.

The circular, dated February 27, 2025, was signed by the Commandant General, Aminu Usman.

“In accordance with the Katsina State Government's directive, all private schools are required to close during the Ramadan period to allow pupils to fully observe the holy month,” the statement read.

“The directive also includes extra lessons. The Hisbah Board urges all school proprietors to strictly comply, as non-compliance will not be tolerated.”

“May Allah accept our fast and grant us His blessings,” the statement concluded.

SaharaReporters previously reported that Bauchi State had issued a similar directive, ordering all schools, including private ones to shut down for five weeks.

According to the directive, schools in Bauchi will remain closed from February 26, 2025, until the end of Ramadan and the Salah celebration, with classes resuming on April 5.

The official academic calendar obtained by SaharaReporters indicates that the second term of the 2024/2025 session began on January 5, 2025.

However, the Bauchi State government divided the term into two phases: the first from January 5 to February 28, followed by a five-week break from March 1 to April 5.

Classes are set to resume from April 6 to April 29. The directive has sparked outrage online following SaharaReporters’ report, though the government remains firm on its decision.
