Parents, Islamic Clerics Who Register Children Into Almajiri System Risk Jail – El-Rufai
Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufa’i has warned that any parent or Islamic cleric who enroll children into the Almajiri system of education stand the risk of prosecution and jail.He gave these warnings on Monday when he visited 200 Almajiri children repatriated from Nasarawa State, who are undergoing rehabilitation and optical screening at Government College, Kurmin Mashi in the state.
The ultimate goal of the Kaduna State government, he added, is to transform the Almajiri children from a state of hopelessness to hope and confidence. “We will continue to do this until we clear Kaduna state of the menace of the Almajiri system, which is not education but the abuse of the privilege and future of a child.
