No registration for examination without NIN: Kano commissioner
The Kano State Government has warned that no student would be registered for any qualifying or transitional examination without the National Identification Number (NIN).
The Commissioner for Education, Sanusi Saidu-Kiru, said that the NIN would enable the ministry to have an updated database for all students for planning and optimum record keeping.
According to him, this will also assist to eradicate the manipulation of students’ records during examinations and ensure judicious use of government funds.
The commissioner, therefore, asked the management of the Kano State Senior Schools Management Board (KSSSMB), zonal directors and principals, to ensure strict adherence to the directive.
“Forms will be distributed to all secondary schools for the students from JSS 1 to SS 2 to provide their details, which will also be used by the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC).
“The details will then be kept by the ministry for documentation,” he said.
Mr Saidu-Kiru added that the staff of NIMC would soon begin the NIN registration across the schools in the state.
He, therefore, mandated all students of public secondary schools in the state to register and obtain the NIN.
