CAN threatens legal action as four Northern states close schools for Ramadan

The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has expressed displeasure with the directives by the governments of Bauchi, Katsina, Kano and Kebbi states mandating the closure of all public and private schools for up to five weeks to observe the Ramadan fast, effective from late February to early April 2025.

In a statement on Sunday, CAN President, Archbishop Daniel Okoh, said, “While we honour the religious diversity of our nation and recognise the significance of faith, these decisions raise serious issues of equity, educational continuity, and the welfare of all citizens, regardless of their religious beliefs.”
