Shehu Sani, a renowned human rights activist and former lawmaker representing the Kaduna Central Senatorial District, has voiced his displeasure over the actions of those opposed to government-owned schools.
According to a post on his official X account, he argued that individuals who avoid public schools should not seek government employment.
He suggested that if government jobs were reserved strictly for those who attended public institutions, public perception and policy surrounding education would be vastly different.
His comments come amid heated debate regarding the abandonment of public education. Sani emphasized that those seeking employment in state-run establishments ought to prioritize public schools.
Government-owned schools, according to Senator Shehu Sani, must be considered if an individual is interested in government jobs.
However, his statement drew significant public backlash, with many arguing that government-owned schools have fallen far below acceptable standards.
