Governments at all levels in the country, especially the 19 Northern States have been urged to prioritize the plight of Almajiri children in order to give them a better life.
The Managing Director of Al-Absal Business Link, AbdulRahman Yusuf Mu'azu, made the call during a one-day workshop held in Bauchi over the weekend.
Mu'azu charged the National Commission for Almajiri and Out of School Children Education to deliver essential services, including proper accommodations, learning centers and educational materials for the affected children.
The workshop, organized by Al-Absal Business Link in collaboration with the Mujaddadi Foundation, convened Qur'anic school teachers and community leaders to discuss the challenges facing Almajiri education.
Mu'azu’s call for action addressed the importance of holistic support for the vulnerable children, who often lack access to formal education.
Representing the Mujaddadi Foundation, Executive Director, Hon. Tijjani Adamu Aliyu underscored the importance of effectively utilizing the knowledge gained during the workshop.
He expressed his commitment to convey the participants’ appeals to government authorities, advocating for a coordinated intervention to address the educational needs of Almajiri children.
As concerted efforts from various stakeholders continue, the hope is to create a framework that ensures the future of Almajiri children is brightened through appropriate educational resources and support.
