The Kano State Ministry of Education has postponed secondary school qualifying exams in the state as labour unions embark on an indefinite strike over the alleged abuse of its President, Joe Ajaero in Imo State.
The Ministry had set Tuesday, November 14, 2023, for the exams but has now suspended it indefinitely.
The statement read in part, “The State Ministry of Education, has suspended 2023 Secondary Schools Qualifying Examination (SSQE) scheduled to take place today Tuesday 14th Nov. 2023 till further notice.”
