The Jigawa Government has received a total of 524 Almajiri pupils evacuated by neighbouring Kano State.

Receiving the pupils at Gen. Yakubu Gowon NYSC Camp in Dutse, the state Gov. Muhammad Badaru said the pupils would undergo medical screening, before handover to their respective parents.

Badaru said that accommodation and feeding arrangements had been made for the pupils until they would be declared safe to reunite with their parents.

He said that the gesture was aimed at ensuring that the pupils would be healthy to mingle with people in their respective communities.

Earlier, Mr Sunusi Kiru, the Kano State Commissioner for Education, who led the evacuation team, gave the assurance that the pupils underwent thorough medical screening before the evacuation.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Kano Government has embarked on evacuation of Almajiri pupils to their respective states of origin.

The decision is to ensure compliance with the social distancing order in the state to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus.
The Kano Government had earlier evacuated 419 Almajiri pupils to Katsina State.

Almajiri are usually underage Quranic students sent to neighbouring communities in furtherance of their studies.

Corona cash transfer���

Good one

It's well

Receiving over 500 almajiri from Kano when Kano is an epicentre of covid-19.

Mind you, Kano hasn't been testing for some days now because test kits had finished.

I fear for Jigawa case in a week from now.

North

Fear North.

The north needs to really abolish the almajiri system. These almajiri are vulnerable. They could be induced to join criminal gangs or terrorist.

Hmm

Take away North from Nigeria and experience instant growth in development and reasoning....dis guys are just so backward in everything n to even wonder how we r led by dis guys baffles me

This relocation wiii heip spread the piague faster to other states.

Kai, tell me how dis kids won't grow up with a begging mentality....

Born how many you go fit train, dem no go hear. Dem go just dey bang toto dey born kids anyhow.

Now look what these kids are passing through.

Are they serious?

Evacuated

Then, Enugu state and other eastern and western states should claim evacuation of nuns and seminary school students. And, all the foster homes should start sending bills as well.

Well there are reasons to everything and I hope Jigawa will see reasons.

Hmmm

Let me not comment my reserve

They will return after Covid- 19. They are trying to protect their electoral tools come 2023


Same Almajiri abolition they used against Sanusi.

Trust this government and their words at your own risk. They are evil and wicked

Transfer window is open already... Jigawa with loads of strikers and top notch defenders.. wow..

Distributing their human capital/resources equitably...

Welcome to Northern Nigeria

even if am not a fan of the northerners i still tink this is a nice gesture of nature, helping thise kids is a good way forward..dnt jus understand why they is it that they have the richest individuals in this country, they produce the people that have ruled Nigeria the more both past and presently but they still have the more numbers of poor and are still the only ethnic group in nigeria that is ignorant or isnt following current happening of d world abt childbirth and way of life, they have more population, more poor, more kid beggers and the case still continue, dnt want to put d blame on thier kinda leaders and religion alone bcoz generally african leaders are bad and also religion have already done more harm than good in Africa...i rest my case abeg, i neva chop

Alimajari is one of the northern core value systems.

Their headache.

Lagos state should also rake all those homeless mofo building hunts on Lagos badagry express road.
There r lots of them.

These people are underestimating this corona virus.. Nysc camp now receiving almajiri. It is well in this country..

Oga you are a liar.

The system made you believe such Abeg

I hope when people kick against RUGA project, they would exercise same understanding.

Na their problem if them like make them carry them go sambisa, when Sanusi was talking about the ill almajiri system in the North most of them hated him and asked for his head.

Good development!! We expect other Governors to emulate from this.

This is serious cleansing period.

Okay

Where is the mother and father? Why are they moving people's children from one city to another? Why are some parents so useless?
