Stakeholders have expressed serious concern over the absence of water and basic hygiene facilities in 6,279 public schools in Kano State, describing the situation as a major threat to the safety and wellbeing of children. This comes after a one day field trip to some schools to observe the availability of the WASH services in Kano State. According to the available data, out of the total number of public primary and junior secondary schools only 2503 have WASH facilities in Kano State, leaving over 6279 in danger. They noted that, lack of WASH services in schools leads to increased spread of diseases such as diarrhea and cholera, resulting in frequent illness and absenteeism among children. Hajiya Amina assured that the present administration will maintain the provision of funds in its annual budget to SUBEB for WASH facilities.
