The Kano State Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Barrister Abdulkarim Kabiru Maude, has called on parents to take a more active role in monitoring the education and upbringing of their children, describing education as the foundation for responsible citizenship and sustainable development.
Barrister Maude said education remains critical to success in virtually every sphere of human endeavour, urging parents not to relent in providing the necessary support and guidance required to enable their wards realise their full potential.
He also charged pupils to remain committed to their studies, discipline and personal development, stressing that the knowledge and values acquired in school would help prepare them to become responsible adults and useful members of society.
The Attorney General made the call while speaking at the third graduation ceremony of Blazing Star International School, Farawa, Kano.

The Commissioner further emphasised the collective responsibility of parents, teachers, school proprietors and the wider society in shaping the future of children, noting that a society that invests in quality education is investing in its own peace, prosperity and development.
