THE Kano State Government has approved a ten-day holiday for schools in the state as Muslims worldwide celebrate the Eid-el Kabir festival.
Spokesperson of the Kano State Ministry of Education Aliyu Yusuf said in a statement that the holiday would begin on Thursday, July 7 to Sunday, July 17.
But students participating in the NECO, NABTEB and NBAIS examinations and those on an exchange programme from other states at the Government Secondary School, Gwarzo, and Government Secondary School, Shekara, are to continue their examination and programme, respectively, during the period, according to the statement.
