Anno Academy students at a past function:photo by ICBN |
More than 200 secondary school students from Anno Mixed/Day Secondary School alias Kambi Garba Academy are about to be deprived of their rights to education following the proprietor's decision to sell off the school to a private developer.
The Proprietor, Mr. Ibrahim Halake Guyo, a former hotelier who later ventured into education started the school as a catering college before later reverting it to a Day Secondary school after failing to attract students to the school. The name Anno College is derived from that as the school is known to many now.
It is not known what caused the proprietor to abruptly shut down the school but what concerns us is the fact that the shut down wasn't done procedurally.
Mr. Ibrahim, a respectable elder in Isiolo county erred greatly in arriving at such a decision which would have far reaching impacts on the young lives of the youth who see Anno College as their gateway to the 'Good Life' which we are all after in the race of life.
Now, more than 200 parents will be faced with the hard task of scouting for school for their children which, by any definition, is not going to be an easy task knowing all the madness and 'brokeness' that comes with njaanuary.
Furthermore, Mr. Ibrahim has not yet disclosed the reason for his decision to close down the school. Poor grades, scanty amenities, government pressure? We can only speculate but the onus is on the owner to come forward and explain vividly his reason for such a horrendous move.
The school is being sold for KSH 4.7 Million to a Garre private developer.
ICBN demands for the proprietor one Mr.Ibrahim Halake Guyo to reconsider this sale which will bring chaos and pandemonium once the schools open on 3rd January 2019.
ICBN shall not relent until this ugly scenario is reversed and education status of hundreds of innocent students restored to their hopeful status. This is the only way that they can have a decent shot at life!
Mr. Ibrahim Halake Guyo is also a long time friend and political ally and clan mate of Isiolo County Assembly Speaker Hussein Golicha Roba(HGR)
We demand all Isiolo County leaders to act fast and save the lives of these innocent kids if they are to be taken seriously here after!
If you are affected by this as a parent,student, friend or you are just passionate about societal issues,kindly leave your number we see if can start a petition for the same.
