“Following our effort to obtaining the success of the centre in securing a certificate to proceed with training and her becoming a duly and fully accredited centre, we found ourselves erroneously expelled.
“We are pleading with the government to kindly intervene and take us back to our centre for us to complete our training and benefits from all the packages planned for us.”
The protesting students added that they recognize and appreciate the effort of Kano State Government in establishing the astronomical centre, and the chances given to them out of good will of palliating poverty as well as furnishing self-employment opportunity among Kano Youths.
Daily Trust contacted the centre’s Director General, Paul Quin who is accused of illegally expelling the students but he is not attending to calls and text message sent to him.
