Speaking on the project, the Founder and CEO of Northern Hibiscus, Aisha Falke, said “Edu Kids is one project we at Northern Hibiscus are proud to be associated with and we have resolved it must succeed. Our ultimate goal is to see northern Nigeria be at par with its southern counterpart in every aspect starting from the foundation which is education.”

“We are determined to bridge the gap by providing highly affordable and quality education, which we believe will help us achieve our goal in the long run. The whole idea is to catch them young that is why we have started with little children because they are the future, we see today without them there is no tomorrow,” she said.

The founder noted that their vision is to provide state-of-the-art learning facilities for the indigent kids.

She said the school is operating from a temporary site in Kano State.

“As part of the expansion plan, we have acquired a piece of land for the permanent site in Kano, to accommodate both primary and post-primary school classes which we hope to commence the infrastructural development soon to conveniently accommodate 1,500 students at once,” Falke noted.
