Kano Govt Approves 10-days Sallah Break for All Schools
The Kano State Government has approved a long Sallah holiday for primary and post‑primary schools across the state in observance of the Eid‑el‑Kabir (Sallah) festival. This was done to allow pupils, students, teachers, and school communities enough time to celebrate the festival with their families.
- 🗓️ The holiday was traditionally declared for 10 days for both public and private schools in the state.
- The extended break covered all primary and secondary levels across Kano, pausing normal academic activities during the Sallah period.
- This directive ensured that schools remained closed to accommodate religious celebrations, after which scheduled resumption dates were communicated by the Kano Ministry of Education.
What Happened Before
In a related development for Eid‑el‑Kabir in 2025, the state announced an even 11‑day break for schools around the Sallah period, highlighting Kano’s tradition of granting extended holidays for this major Muslim festival.
