Gov. Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna state on Monday enrolled his six-year-old child, Abubakar into primary one, a public school, in fulfillment of a promise he made in 2017.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that El-Rufai had in a state broadcast in December 2017, promised to enroll his child in a public when he turns six years.

"The move is part of reforms to revamp public schools in the state to make them more competitive.

"We are determined to fix public education and raise their standard so that private education will become only a luxury.

"And I will by personal example ensure that my son that will be six years of age in 2019 will be enrolled in a public school in Kaduna state, by God's grace," El-Rufai had said.
