Governor Nasiru El-Rufai of Kaduna State has said that the state government would not condone Almajiri schools in the state, urging them to relocate to other states.

Mr El-Rufai gave the urge during the inauguration of the Kaduna State Child Protection and Welfare Committee on Tuesday in Kaduna.

He said: “We are working on the Almajiri system and many people do not agree with what we are doing, but we are very confident and sure of the rightness of our actions.

”So, my message to all those that have Almajiris in Kaduna state, you have a choice to relocate otherwise sooner or later we will get you.”

According to him, the government developed and approved the social protection policy so as to have clear legislation that would be targeted directly to only the most vulnerable and poorest in the state.

“We want the poorest people to benefit. Politicians often get involved with their ‘slot mentality’, and when we give them those slots they don’t give them to the poorest.

“So we must find a way to identify who is poor and who is vulnerable and target these kinds of assistance to this kind of households,” he said.

The governor said that the state social investment office has been working across the 24 local government areas to have a comprehensive social of the poorest and most vulnerable in the society.

He disclosed that the social has so far more than one million households, and assured that every government intervention would be channeled to those on the social .

He also thanked all those contributing to the protection and welfare of children in Kaduna state.

Earlier, Hafsat Baba, Commissioner, Human Services and Social Development, explained that the committee has legal backing and would be set up at the state and local government levels.

Mrs Baba said the 20 of the committee inaugurated were from various sectors and agencies, identified and trained by Unicef.

The commissioner disclosed that her Ministry has data of over 10,817 Almajiris, who will be enrolled into formal schools.

“Planning has reached advance stage between the ministry and Ministry of Education and SUBEB to enroll the ten thousand eight hundred and seventeen Almajiri children in schools.”

She also said that the government had constructed a women’s centre in Kaduna, which will be a centre of excellence for child protection and victims of gender-based violence.

She said that a philanthropist, Musa Bello of Aman Foundation, has pledged to the government with N300 million for the improvement of the 10 model Tsangaya schools in the state.

Mrs Baba said the state government would also provide a similar amount to ensure “child protection and best example of a seamless integration of Quranic education, literacy and numeracy and skills development.”

This man requires . Without it, he will be treated the same way Sanusi Lamido the former Emir of Kano was treated when he stood up against the same people!

Take away his rabid tribalism and ethnocentrism, istratively as a state governor, this tiny brat is forward looking..
It's saddening that on the national level, irrespective of the promise shown in local politics, even the most erudite Fulani politicians are deeply steamed in parochial politics with all sorts of base sentiments..

Hehehe! This table El-Rufai is shaking ehen!

Nice development. I tought you don't have sense. But you get am small. Do it now b4 they become up coming bandits and boko haram. Send them go back 2 school.

This news is for the media and the media alone. With the way he has behaved in the past and the way he behaves now, you'll know this is just a media thing and not sth personal. His family behaves like him also.

doesn't change the fact that bubu is a monumental failure

An impressive policy I must say. The earlier the better. If you are able to follow this through, you've earned 0.00000001% of my respect


The guy below me though. Which one come be pi again bayi?

Good initiative.
It's high time.

Northerners are hypocrites. They "deported" almajiris during the lockdown and now here's El-Rufai saying almajiri operators should relocate from the state even though some or most of them may be indigenes of Kaduna state. None of the Northern elites and governors like Bala Mohammed who was hyperventilating when Akeredolu said the killer Fulani herdsmen, who are not even Ondo indigenes should just leave the forest, not even relocate from the state, are saying anything. Worthless country.

Jonathan tried for them but....

Good development! It is high time we stop existing and start living and that needs some planning. I hope religious merchant will let this good plan sail through. Culture is a revolving door but our people are so stuck in the past and has failed to wake up to reality. I sell portable lithium battery powerbanks and inverter for laptop, TV, phones and light

Nice

4 am. Meeting has ende

Riplogic:
Jonathan tried for them but....

Tell me what did he try....

about time we send all these dumb okada ,beggers back to their village.Their nuisance is too much

Lucky Kaduna. I hope he has good succession plans.

when former president Goodluck started this policy of no almajiri, most political maggots in the north stood against it. They made sure they erased his plan and see his government fail. Am in the north here, if I tell you what this almajiris do, you won't believe. This boys are heartless, destructive, aggressive, thieves, love fighting on little things. Sometimes I do imagine if they are spies.

Now the rich won't let that go just like that, they are trained in the hard way, but you see, who among you suffered to attend secondary school, tertiary and Wil still allow somebody play over your intelligence? I don't think there is but the keep deceiving them that they are doing this and anything instructed by their instructor to do is for Allah. Almajiris, i have a comma for them

Is that even English?

Bleep English anyways. Is that Hausa?

Shot devil

You Jonathan worshippers sef. Who does not know Almajiri program by Jonathan, like many other of his programs, was used to siphon money?

The biggest embarrassments of the north

i ssorite

Before, before and even now, almanjiri graduatant always come to the South as hustlers. El Rufai decision can not stop almanjirism in the North.

i know one thing abt karma, all the evil things north has done to nigerian , it will come after them ..... u kill xtian , u created bandit , u created boko haram to get power .....u gave birth to millions of children without taken care of them just to have more population in other to keep POWER .... one day , monkey go enter market and e will not come back ...... so el rufai ... just keep quiet

Mumu

We want the poorest people to benefit. Politicians often get involved with their ‘slot mentality’, and when we give them those slots they don’t give them to the poorest.

I this wholeheartedly.

only if some northern religious fanatics will alone this good development to thrive... GEJ has been vindicated
