To cut overhead costs, 15 Civil Society Organisations have advised the federal government to draw the staffing of the new Almajiri Commission which seeks to tackle Nigeria’s out-of-school children crisis, from the civil service.
The group urged the government to ensure that the commission remains focused on delivering real solutions to the problems faced by Almajiri and out-of-school children, rather than merely serving as another avenue for employment. “We also suggest that staff of the commission should be drawn from existing MDAs and agencies to reduce overhead cost and to ensure effective utilisation of funds meant for real interventions,” it stated.
It stated that the establishment of the National Commission for Almajiri and Out-of-School Children Education was a significant milestone in Nigeria’s collective efforts to address the Almajiri issue in Nigeria.
