Sowore Criticizes Northern Leaders for Shutting Schools Down During Ramadan
Omoyele Sowore has criticized northern leaders for shutting down schools to allow children to participate in Ramadan fasting. The decision, implemented in Bauchi, Katsina, Kebbi, and Kano States, has caused criticism from many Nigerians.
Sowore, a well-known Nigerian activist, accused the leaders of hypocrisy, claiming that their children are not affected by the policy since they attend expensive private schools in Abuja or study abroad.
In a statement on his Facebook page, Sowore condemned the move, saying, “Those who decided to shut down schools for Ramadan fasting don’t have their children in these struggling public schools.
Their kids attend top private schools or study overseas, funded by resources meant to support underprivileged students in these poorly maintained schools, which remain open during Ramadan. These leaders are irresponsible and unfair.”
