Ghana is a Unitary state while Nigeria is a federal state. I am surprised that some Nigerians are surprised that the Governors of Bauchi state and some other Northern states make an issue of something that states have more less exclusive right to operate.

Schooling both primary & secondary schools including Universities states have every rights to open and close such schools at their whims. So they choosing to close their schools during Ramadan is within their rights.

Such rulings or assumptions cannot be done in a unitary state where the central government makes law for the whole country unlike in Nigeria.

So as a parent if u don’t like the laws in the north you move your wards to more tolerable states.

Even Aisha Yesufu that woman was criticising the northern states for closing schools she should know Nigeria is a federal state not a unitary state.

Nigeria is federal in name only

Lets take a state like Bauchi for instance,
are all the students Muslims? Why will you take a religious decision in a secular state?

State govts cannot just infringe upon the fundamental human rights of minority Christians

Mr man in a federal state the Governor and his legislatures are lord and master. Nothing the Federal government can do about it. If there is a federal government college in that state that college would not close down.

Sowere is an illiterate.

I support full restructuring with 100% resource control.

You cannot be collecting Niger Delta oil money and do as you like
