Kano Assembly passes bill regulating private school fees
The legislation, titled the Kano State Private and Voluntary Institutions Board (Amendment) Bill, 2026, introduces measures designed to strengthen regulatory oversight of private schools and protect parents against arbitrary fee hikes.
Speaking after the bill’s passage, House Majority Leader Lawan Hussaini stated that the amendment requires private primary and secondary schools to consult with their Parent-Teacher Associations (PTAs) before implementing any fee increase.
