John Hayab
Rev. John Hayab is the Chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) in the 19 Northern States and Abuja. He has been an outspoken advocate for education in the region, particularly in light of recent school closures during Ramadan in states like Bauchi, Katsina, Kano, and Kebbi. Hayab has expressed concerns that such closures negatively impact students' preparation for important examinations, highlighting the broader educational challenges faced in Northern Nigeria, including issues of poverty and insecurity. He has called for governors to reconsider these decisions, suggesting that instead of closing schools, they should reduce school hours to accommodate religious practices. His leadership seeks to balance spiritual observance with the right to education for all children.
