Since the north has never supported the nuclear family system, let every man train the hundreds he has. After all, when they grow, they will be his benefit.

I thought Northerners are one. Why can't he channel did nice gesture to all Almajiris residing Kaduna? Must he send non indigenes away from this precious opportunity? Or is he trying to do it, as a way of making mockery of Ganduja?

This is one of the most profund decisions of a northern leader.. I hope other northern leaders will follow suit...... Good one Mr gov.

abbaphyta Very commendable.

Even if u give them university scholarship, they still won't go. Alamjiri is there Destiny and destiny they say can't be denied

This is a great step in the right direction. However, anything they do short of returning those children back to their parents to be properly nurtured is not enough. They should grow up in safe family environments while they enjoy the education that the state offers

A child in Europe can expect to go to school & university, be healthy & cared for through to old age. In most parts of Nigeria only two in six start school at all, many drop out along, deterred due to levied. University is an impossible dream. Thus, go to work to feed the family.

Enroll them in private schools not your government schools.

We palliate poverty and tweak this failing system We need total reset

Oho dai

I,am waiting for Shehu Sani to fault this decision,he will say something like this, enlisting these children into schools in Nigeria is not good enough they should be sent to schools in UK or USA lol.

I wish this was true and stop sending them to other regions/states even with the inter state movement restrictions.👌

This man

By virtue of the Kaduna State Child Protection Law 2018 vis-a-vis Child Rights Law, elrufai acted in the right direction. The Kaduna State Government owe every child in need, a duty of protection and care.

Lol...... Enrol which almajiris in school People that need food ? Their problem isn't education but nutrition Meanwhile..... Which school are you enrolling them when schools are closed Looters !!!!!

Thereby turning them to cashcows again with operation feed the pupils... 👀

Nice one. Best approach. Integrate them in mainstream schools. I never supported almajiri schools, but integrating them into mainstream is the best approach. Well done Gov.
