Emir of Kano, Muhammad Sanusi II, has said that it is criminal to sponsor people to Hajj and other pilgrimages with government’s funds.

He made the assertion at the two-day Northern Nigeria Traditional Leaders Conference on Out-Of-School Children, which ended yesterday in Kaduna.

According to him, any one who takes one kobo to sponsor people for hajj is stealing, insisting: “It is not an act of piety, but we do it all the time.

“In 2000, I wrote an article on a government that sent 300 scholars to hajj. We are all malikis’ here. Imam Malik said it is prohibited, unlawful to take money from the treasury to sponsor a poor man who has no money for hajj.”

He also tasked governments to prioritise spending on education, health and development, saying, “This 2018, the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources announced that the country spends N1.4 trillion annually on petroleum subsidy for which there is no budget.

“We are spending this amount annually to on petroleum products, but we can give only N100 billion for basic education. How are we going to fix education?”

Sanusi, who frowned on the increase in number of Out-Of-School children, especially in the Northern part of the country, added: “We have a state in Northwestern Nigeria, where only 184 children sat for the National Ordinary level examination in 2017.

“Only 24 of those children passed in the entire state. Where has all the money gone that is supposed to be spent on education, if you can produce only 24 students in your state?” he queried.

He further lamented that in that same state, less than 30 children registered for the common entrance examinations this year.

An aircraft belonging to Overland Airways ATR aircraft caught fire at the company’s hangar at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA) in Lagos on Friday.

The fire broke out as the aircraft was being serviced.

Henrietta Yakubu, spokeswoman of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), said no life was lost in the incident.

Passengers and other airport users were frightened when they saw smoke billowing from that side of the airport.

Fire fighters are still trying to curtail the inferno from spreading.

Ayodele Fayose, outgoing governor of Ekiti, says he won’t attend the inauguration ceremony of Kayode Fayemi, governor-elect, because erratic politicians may harass him.

Addressing a press conference in Ado-Ekiti on Thursday, he said such harassment might destroy the relationship between him and the incoming governor.

Fayose added that his scheduled appearance at the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in Abuja also coincides on the inauguration day.

The outgoing governor said he doesn’t have anything to hide and he’s ready to face any probe panel concerning his administration.

“Politicians are erratic people. If I should attend the programme, some politicians may use the chance to harass me, even when they are not sent by Fayemi,” he said.

“This will further destroy relationship; the issues between me and Fayemi are not personal. I have been cooperating with the committee set up by Fayemi on this transition.

“Again, I have to be in EFCC office in Abuja on Tuesday, but let me say clearly that I am ready to appear before any panel set up by the incoming government to probe my administration.

“Let it be known that I am not going anywhere, as being insinuated around. Rather, I will even be available for all manner of state probe by the incoming government.

“Be assured that since I do not have anything to hide, I will not fail to also attend any form of probe panels, commissions of enquiry or by whatever that the new government in the state may decide to set up concerning me.

“All that is required is just for them to either put a call across to me or send me a notice of invitation, indicating the venue and time. Once all these are fulfilled, they can be expecting that I will make myself personally available, and not through any lawyer or other representation.
