Order regulating Private Education in Niger, hereinafter referred to as (The 1996 Decree). The letters withdrawing the grant of authorization (annexure 7) quoted Articles 4, 6, 8, 9, 15,17, 18, 19, 21, 22, 23,and 28 of The Decree 1996 as the basis for the revocation of the grant same having been violated by the Applicant.
