<p>The Prime College Kano has raised strong objections to what it described as an “unlawful attempt” by the Kano State Private and Voluntary Institutions Board (PVIB) to shut down its operations following a dispute over school fees.</p>
<p>In a press statement issued on Friday by its solicitors, Aliant Qais Conrad Laureate, the school said it was compelled to speak out after being served with a perpetual order from the Kano Magistracy directing a reversal of its 2025/26 fee increase and suspension of operations.<br />
In July 2025, Prime College announced an adjustment in fees for the 2025/26 academic year, citing inflation and the need to maintain teaching quality and infrastructure.</p>
<p>The management said flexible payment plans were made available to parents, assuring that no child would be denied education for inability to pay.<br />
According to the school, over 94% of parents complied with the new rates. However, fewer than 20 parents rejected the increment, labeling the school “exploitative” and petitioning PVIB to intervene.</p>

<p>The statement said that the PVIB Executive Secretary, Malam Baba Abubakar Umar, visited the school in the company of some parents and appointed an interim caretaker PTA committee of eight parents and five teachers.<br />
The committee reportedly voted in favor of the fee increase. Yet, the PVIB later declared the deliberations “inconclusive” and issued directives for the fees to be reversed.</p>
<p>Prime College management said efforts to engage the PVIB leadership were met with “abuse, denigration, and public embarrassment.”</p>

<p>On Wednesday, September 17, the school was served with an order from the Kano Magistracy halting implementation of the new fees and suspending operations.<br />
The following day, September 18, Radio Kano FM 98.3 announced that Prime College had been shut down entirely &#8211; a move the school insists was a misinterpretation of the court order.</p>
<p>“The radio broadcast was a deceitful and malicious interpretation of the order procured by subterfuge. No such directive was given in the order or derivable from its contents,” the statement read.</p>
<p>Prime College said it is pursuing legal redress and reaffirmed its commitment to lawful operations, while warning that suspending the education of innocent children is unjust.</p>
<p>“It is unfair to suspend the education of innocent children even for one day, let alone for weeks, without hearing our side of the matter,” the statement added.</p>
