The colours of the APC flag
The decision by Masari to paint schools building with APC Color came under criticism by the public who believed the conventional public school colour should be maintained as an identity peculiar to the schools.
Also, others cautioned Governor Masari to give priority to enhancing teachers teaching capacity and also provide teaching materials to these schools before embarking on cosmetic painting of school that will not have any effect on the student understanding during learning periods.
It was reported but not yet confirmed by Katsinareporters on the said amount to be sent on each school on the rehabilitation and the cosmetic painting of which was earlier reported to be N45million each.
