This, the government said, is to enable all school children to “fully observe the holy month.”
The directive on the closure, signed by the Commander General of the State Hisbah Board, Dr Aminu Usman (Abu Ammar), warned all school heads and proprietors that “noncompliance will not be tolerated.”
The full letter dated February 27, 2025 reads: “In accordance with the Katsina State Government directive, all private schools are required to close for the Ramadan period to allow pupils to fully observe the holy month.
“The Hisbah Board urges all school proprietors to strictly comply with this directive.
“Non-compliance will not be tolerated.
“May Allah accept our fast and grant us His blessings.”
