50 Imams and Islamic scholars have been sponsored by Kano state government for training on guidance and preaching techniques in Saudi Arabia, Governor Dr Abdullahi Umar Ganduje has disclosed.

According to a statement issued yesterday May 27, by Ameen K. Yassar, Press Secretary to the Governor:

He made the disclosure when members of the state Izalatul Bid Wa Ikamatus Sunnah, an Islamic non-governmental organization paid him a courtesy call on Tuesday, adding that the sponsorship would continue gradually as the economy of the state improves.

The training, according to the governor, would expose them to preaching techniques and update their knowledge of religious and secular issues in the light of rapid globalization.

Stressing that the importance of the training to the propagation of Islam cannot be over emphasized, he lamented that some religious scholars, instead of guiding their followers to do right, they distance them from the right path because of lack of preaching techniques.

Governor Ganduje said his administration recently introduced monthly allowances for Imams and their supporting personnel, explaining that each Imam would get a monthly stipend of N20, 000, their deputies, N15, 000 each while every Mu’azzin will take home N10, 000.

The governor appealed to members of the Izala group to educate Muslims on right of passage during Friday Congregational Prayer, noting that unnecessary blocking of roads during the prayers is against Islamic precepts.

He urged the religious leaders to continue supporting and praying for President Muhammad Buhari to succeed, adding that the state government is ready to partner with any organization for the progress of the state and Nigeria at large.

Earlier, the state chairman of the group, Sheik Sani Sharif Umar said they were at Government House to introduce newly elected members of the state branch, assuring that they would support the government to achieve its goals.http://www.gists101.com/2016/05/kano-state-govt-sends-50-imams-and.html?m=1

I totally agree with you,let state spend what they are able to generate

Why does an African have to travel out of not just his house, not just his town, not just his state, not just his country, but out of his CONTINENT, in order to 'learn' how to worship God? I mean, whoever messed up the African's mind to this point of tragic idiocy and self-loathing, will surely get their just rewards.

They can't pay minimum wage but they can allocate 20k for imams to brainwash and rear more jihadists

You are the one who is senseless and hyper idiotic, in any case you have forgotten, Kano is an islamic state since its among Nigeria's Sharia states, that's why Alcohol is forbidden, prostitutes are being arrested, dressing mode is under control, restaurants are forbidden during day time in Ramadan, wrong parking & phone answering while driving is banned, kissing in public is a punishable crime, sexy parties are prohibited and much more, that's what a city like Kano is, so as well as Kano is under Sharia rule, its an Islamic state, if u wished, use bible to rule your south, we will gladly support u because it will move Nigeria forward.

God bless him

If not another plan to train Islamic foot soldiers for the Caliphate s Islamisation policy, this same Kano state Governor should send 50 Pastors to Jerusalem for training. He is.using Nigerian money isn't it? And Fayiose can't pay legitimate salaries of State.

Sorry bro, it was 350m and not 200m, okay? For the benefit of doubt, it was for the upgrading of schools previously managed by the government but was given back to its rightful owners. In case you don't know, the resultant effects of this positive action of government, is really amazing.
