The Kano State Governor Abdullahi Ganduje on Tuesday announced a ban on street begging by children popularly referred to as Almajiris.

The governor’s spokesperson, Abba Anwar, in a statement sent to PREMIUM TIMES said the effort was to fully consolidate the free and compulsory primary and secondary schools education in the state.

Mr Ganduje warned that henceforth, Almajiri teachers must accept the new approach put in place by the state government.“When Almajiri are caught begging, it is not only that beggar is caught, but his parents or guardians. Such parents or guardians would be taken to court to face the wrath of the law,” Mr Anwar quoted his principal as saying in the statement.

“This policy of free and compulsory basic and secondary education goes along with its integration of our Almajiri system into the mainstream policy implementation. This suggests that English and Arithmetic must be included in the Almajiri schools curriculum,” the governor said.This, according to him, will give those children other types of education, while they will continue acquiring their knowledge of the Holy Qur’an.

Story for the gods

Good Development. should try to draw the attention of Kano State Govt to also include Physical Health Education & Social Studies in the Almajiri sch curriculum to help change their behavior on cleanliness & other things. Cc:dawisu.

Makaranta islamiyya is now everywhere they can learn and memorize the Qur'an their. They must not go to other state to do Almajiri in the name of seeking for knowledge. Their parents should be held responsible.

Let's see how it works out

If you stop the Children from begging, what have you put in place to sustain their livelihood? If you allow 'Shekau' to feed these Children, the children will be glad to follow him to Sambisa forest in a hurry; with the aim of coming back to unleash terror on the people of Kano.

Very good wllh!

I am coming to love this Governor. Relevant Vocational Education should be included.

This headline is Ok

With this ingenious plan, the problem is solved forever! 🙄🙄

Without making any provisions for the baggers? Ganduje is not ready to solve this problem

An almajiri is also a child back to school.

With this, Ganduje finally earn my respect. Though that doesn't changed the fact that he is corrupt.

Lagos about to be flooded

A welcome development, open vocational centers to train them and make education for all, a great step forward

Southwest governors should please same. When the creator of the nuisance is saying enough is enough we shouldn't accept same again.

The Southern governors should place a ban on street begging immediately because what you will see next is exodus of almajiricin to the south.

Ganduje surprise me o..... But walai I can't vote him and Tinubu and elrufai till I die!

Give them whatever training u think, begging is their inheritance they can't stop

Very good

So how are they to survive?! This country shaaa, one day, one tomfoolery!

I believe, in Victorian England, they established 'poorhouses' to deal with street begging. Point is there must be some kind of institutional intervention to provide an alternative.

i.e. 'relocate'

They should do something before banning them, cos not allowing them to do what keep them alive is something to think of.

Many people seems to have d theoretical solutions to our contemporary problems, but put them in the position of authority they will fail like we are currently seeing with d fed govt on security. Good move by the Kano state govt.

What alternative was provided?

Great news! I hope other northern states do the same.

Signing bills for prohibition of Almajiris is waste of time and useless. We have better alternatives to that.

Adamu garba won’t like the ban!!

losing the next elections

Demikiwala

Better idea

Thank God

All northern states should follow suit.

Very good move. Now unto the next step... What do you have for them? What are the options for survival available?

Making a law is one thing, enforcing that law is something else entirely. This law is the type my constitutional law lecturer calls a mere paper tiger.

Good move, but make sure that they're well rehabilitated and enrolled into any vocational training or almajiri school that was built by Jonathan

They would be relocating to other states

This ban would not last

Great way to begin

I'm not sport💯, because what Government bring to them?

One state at a time. While you are putting a ban please deal with the issues that led to people begging on the street. Provide education, enlightenment and empower them.

The almajiri system is a political machinery of the north. The north just will never rid itself of mass poverty and almajiris as long as we are talking about Nigeria with its doctored demographics & immiscible value system.

It was long overdue

Waste of time, This same people have been coming to the East in truck loads, in Bus loads, why are they Coming to the East? We have been seeing them coming.. This time bomb will consume all of this evil Northerners

They will join their cows in their trucks & flood other states. If not begging, what else can they do? Lazy fools.

Na today

Long overdue

adamugarba your pride have been banned

Adamu Garba processing this L rn

After this good movement, what is next for those Almajiris?

I wonder how they will handle 3 million almajiris in the streets of kano alone? If northern leaders are honest about combating this social ill they would have allowed hundreds of schools built for them by Jonathan to function. They created them as foot soldiers.

They should build more prison cell bcz outright ban of this age long begging on the street isn't d best way.The best solution is 2 create an enabling envir'mt 4 them by enrolling them into schools& try 2 reorient their mindsets out of begging,anything aside that,is bound to fail.

I believe he has a plan for them anyways because this begging has been a lucrative business to them in the north especially here in Kano. Atleast This would change the orientation of those that gives multiple children just to push them on the street to beg. Good development 🤝

He is doing well. At least he has done one thing right. Implementation should be key now

Oh wow!

Those beggars should be engaged properly please.

Lol. Funny jokers

Adamu Garba must not see this 😂

No news,until Kano State stops exporting SBs to other states only to cry'Foul'when attempts to send back the 'Unwanted' imports are made by the overwhelmed states as they reject 'Liability Citizens'.

mikkyalat GOOD MORNING KANO! OBJ & VP atiku, introduced this policy via Universal Basic Education (UBE), in 1999, with UBE Act signed in 2004. Goal? free, universal & compulsory basic education for every Nigerian child aged 6-15. South Keyed fully; North was adamant. 21 YEARS LATER👇👇

👏👏

Am expecting LASG to do d same.. They're just everywhere like flies

Neighboring state get ready, they will soon flood your state if not southern state. Enforcement is not enough, reorientation about family planing and massive educational support will truly show they are serious. Not this yeye cosmetic approach.

Will this charade really work?

Lagos nko oooo

Neighboring state get ready, they will soon flood your state if not southern state. Enforcement is not enough, reorientation about family planing and massive Educational support will truly show they are serious. Not this yeye cosmetic approach.

All this is just mere talk.. Wait till 2023!!!

This is one big good news but it’s the only thing the people know how to do. How do you plan to rehabilitate them

Ban will never solve or apprehend this issue.

A welcome development. Parents should take their children off the street.

Attention followlasg

Before you know it, they are in a truck down to Lagos.

Audio ban....

The analogy here is that, if there r no Palliatives provided for these streets beggars, kano state should expect high crime rate. Pple who beg to feed r vulnerable to crime.

So where do they intend to keep the boys. Lagos shine your eyes followlasg

Could this be true, north wakes up...

Why will he ban them? They will now hire vehicles and send them to the South to constitute nuisances and criminals on the roads. He should allow them to stay with them oooo

This is incredible work that Worth commendation. I would like to seek the privilege and honour of Northern Governors to apply this policy. GovUmarGanduje may Almighty continuously bless you sir.

Long overdue in Lagos. The menace is increasing daily.jidesanwoolu

adamugarba kai, they are banning your Heritage oo. The thing that makes you tick in the north! They are banning your proclaimed culture!

About time

Lagos is waiting to receive them nah.

Funny lots, how can a factory ban it's product. It's like saying Coca-Cola bans the consumption of it's product within it's premises. discas2001 tha__phenom

All of them should come to Lagos the maga city...we need to show love for the sake of 2023.

How realistic this will be?

orladhortun Best decision from Northern part in past decades

Good advantage for kano but lot of disadvantage for north central and the rest .....cos you will see them here in a truck ...chai .they love begging

orladhortun Where is that Adamu of a clown?

Finally!!! Why is it always so difficult for Blackman to effect the most inescapable changes

What was the governor smoking when had a mass marriage for about 1500 people before Ramadan

This is good news. The Kano state govt. can learn from our BooksOverTrays concept; Take them off the streets, enrol them in schools and empower their parents. Otherwise, this law will not hold. We must also address 2 other issues; childbride and birth control

sama_on_point Where is dawisu and Adamu

I love that

Lols. 😂

sarnchos Ell oh ell. Audio ban.. Something that is their pride

adamugarba, Mr Okoto meow

Chi efoola!

👏Way to go

Pls read the article along thank you!

So how will they feed before we put them through school and get them jobs.

Good step

banning street begging by Almajiris is a good thing, but what are the measures KanoStateGovt put in place to cater 4 the wellbeing of this kids before coming up wit d banned. Because if nothing is put in place for their welfarism this ban is just a waste of time.

As A Graduate, Unemployment & Politicians Are Teaching Me How To Hate My Country’s Government.

SodiqTade Let them go to school

adamugarba what do you have to say ?

Banning street beggars does not solve the problem of poverty. Be rest assured they would find alternative means of survival.Don't rule out survival through violence, and crime of course.

Kano let’s do this! I believe in you!👊🏾

Lagos State govt restricted their movement and these idiots were protesting,even had the guts to come to State house today.

Migration of Almajiris looming. Neighboring States, get ready

Better

A much laudable move from Gandollar.

Ganduje as seen the light

We need to tag Shehu.....The dollar fraudster is about to destroy cultural heritage.

Nice one.said Ganduje.

Its a lie, he just want to chop another money In the name of reformation of Almajiri's life. Kuma wlh bamu yahe ba.

You people should start coming to Lagos

You can't just ban a needy from begging when you are practically insensitive to their plights! Provide the right relief (policies) if you are sincere.

I hope they are really serious with this one.

Great! Amma, Da Kwai Aiki...

They have set the timer of the time bomb

Way to go

BabyKosica 🤣🤣😂😂😂

Hello Kaduna Katsina’ Can We?

Unto the next state

First time GovUmarGanduje has got my attention

IKABOY12 Those who have started commenting bitterly should kindly read the article and not follow the headline. Act like person wey go school for once na.

Imagine if the have allowed GEJ program on alamajiri to have continued. How far the would have gone by now

👍

Beginning of a good thing.

The solution should first of all be how do you stop producing them.. I mean these uncared-for children? To solve a problem you tackle the root of the problem nit the symptoms...

Excellent but they shouldn't be shipped south in the name of one Nigeria.

What are the palliative measures......or they can go and just die

Great! By doing this, their teachers will have no choice but to return them to those duly responsible to look after them. If this happens in all other states, it will eventually compel people to stop having thoughtless marriages and children for others to feed for them.

Pls you guys should practice birth control, is not all sex that must lead to procreation Abeg. Banditry, kidnapping and religious terrorism has become the only occupation for these lads as they aren't educated. Abeg North una help us!

Sadeeqkurfi If they can provide their basic needs ,I think they should ban the street begging and if they can't do that ,I think they have no reason to ban them from begging

Na waoh! They will all now move to Kaduna and Abuja.

Encourage them to school

Please allow them to continue begging, it's their heritage

Gaskiya, it will not work. They will soon unban it.

Honestly, this guy is good

Lol,

with this Ganduje i forgive that babanriga , this is so nice

👍✅💪🏻

adamugarba won't like this news 😒

Catalyst4eva Any alternative provided for them?

adamugarba I hope you're ready for us tomorrow NigeriainfoFM tomorrow.

Story for the gods

followlasg Please act accordingly. Thank you

This calls for a celebration

This made my day..... Kaduna others to follow elrufai Dattijo

💪🏅 Great one. Now let's find something for them to do. Teach them a trade, help them set up businesses, send the kids to school. Next up, Bauchi. ✊🔜

Sokoto state should do the same

Without social programs for them the state has just opened the floodgates to 10x crime in and around the state.

I think the first thing is to provide structures to absorb them first and then the ban. Any training outfits? Any schools for them? Etc. The horse and the wheel which comes first?

Nice one.. Next should be providing them a welfare package that will employ them to remain in school and help engage their parents

A very good morning to them. 🚶🏾‍♂️

Lagos should do the same

The north has lost alot of suppose intellectuals through the menace of street begging. Ganduje remain undefeated.

We should try to strategically reduce lack of welfarism, not ban them from what they consider to be source of livelihood. What alternatives have you implemented?

A good move.

A very wrong approach towards curbing the problem we face, wouldnt this make it easier for them to be brain washed by anybody that wants to use them for bad acts, when they can easily be made to believe their Gov't doest care about them.

Huhhh at last. A step in the right direction. Kudos to ganduje

What's in the blood is in the blood

And they are all over here in the south protesting and claiming entitlement

adamugarba is going to be very upset.

Wow, how do they plan to enforce that

Open vocational training centres for them. Make them useful to themselves and society by learning a skill.

Great
