A statement issued by ministry’s Deputy Director, Information, Aliyu Yusuf, said the break would commence on Thursday, July 7 and end on Sunday, July 17 and Monday, July 18 for boarding and day students, respectively.
“Kano State Ministry of Education has approved 10 days Eid El- Kabir Sallah Break for all Public and Private Primary and Post Primary Schools in the state.
