“Instead of playing politics with the children, our administration’s intention is to fully integrate the Almajiri system into the formal school system in the state.” Ganduje Coronavirus COVID19 Almajirai
Ganduje made the declaration at the Muhammadu Buhari Specialist Hospital, while unveiling a training programme for 650 healthcare workers designated to manage COVID-19 infected Almajirai in the state.
“Why I said that they are the breeding ground of COVID 19 is because these children are so vulnerable and are without sanitations, good health, good food and they live in a more congested place, making them a breeding ground. “Instead of playing politics with the children, our administration’s intention is to fully integrate the Almajiri system into the formal school system in the state. We would not publicise their status, like some other people did, because the children need more care than noise,” Ganduje explained.
He added that those who tested positive for the virus would be taken into isolation centre for treatment, while those who are negative would be taken back to their homes and reunited with their parents.
