But the NAPPS president, Hajiya Maryam Magaji, speaking through the financial secretary of the association in Kano, Husseini Yunusa, insisted that the association’s election was duly conducted in June 2016 under the watch of delegates from its national body of NAPPS, the Kano State Ministry of Education and other security agencies.
However, addressing newsmen on Saturday while unveiling the new association in Kano, ISPA chairperson, Mrs Fatima Can Bello, accused the NAPPS leadership of conducting a selective election by imposing the North-West president of the association, Hajiya Maryam Magaji, who is already overseeing seven states in the zone, as the president of the association.
She said that the aggrieved members had petitioned the national body of the association in Abuja to address the anomaly, which yielded no results.
When asked whether there was the possibility of a resolution, Mrs Bello ruled out the possibility of an amicable resolution to the crisis, showing newsmen an original document of the registration of the new association at the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) since August this year.
Mrs Bello said: ‘’When you come to the end of your tenure, by the rules and regulations or by the constitution of NAPPS, there is supposed to be a formal election. That was when the crisis erupted. Instead of election, they came up with selection.
“Maryam Magaji was imposed as the president, who was at the time of the election the North-West president of NAPPS. The puzzle is, how can a North-West president again be elected or selected to be the Kano president of the association? That was where the problem started, as she was overseeing two offices, which is ridiculous.”
Mrs Bello, who is the proprietor of Fatima International School in Kano, disclosed that all relevant agencies in the state had recognized the new association.
However, the NAPPS president, Hajiya Maryam Magaji, said there is freedom of association, and that whoever does not want to be a member of the association is free to leave and form his/her own association.
Yunusa, the financial secretary of the state NAPPS, said the only association which unites all private school proprietors in Kano remains the National Association of Proprietors of Private Schools NAPPS, which comprises over 3,000 private schools in the state; and that legal actions will be taken against anyone who disturbs the peace.
LEADERSHIP tussle has led to a crack in the Kano State chapter of the National Association of Proprietors of Private Schools (NAPPS), with some aggrieved members, who alleged imposition of leaders, registering a new body known as the Independent Schools Proprietors Association (ISPA).
