Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai said that Northern Governors have all agreed to abolish the Almajirai system in the region.

The governor while speaking on Wednesday during an interview on Channels TV, said his administration was also reviewing state laws to ensure the Almajirai system remained dead.

El-Rufai said as part of the agreement reached by the northern governors, each Almajiri would been repatriated back to their various states of origin.

“The Northern Governors Forum took a collective decision at a meeting we had about two weeks ago that we will end the almajirai system completely, we will abolish it. And part of the steps we took was to return them to their states of origin. We also decided that each state government will take delivery of these almajirai and return them to their parents and ensure that they go to school.

“We have done that in Kaduna; we have repatriated over 30,000 almajirai from other states back to their states and we are happy to receive any almajirai from any state of the federation that are indigenous to Kaduna.

“We have been expanding our schools, building classrooms to accommodate these children. It is better to cram 200 children in a classroom and give them some kind of modern education than to allow them to waste their lives away and go around begging. Anything is better than this system and we are determined as northern governors to end it.”

The governor said 169 almajirai in Kano, who were of Kaduna origin, were brought to his state. He noted that though 65 of them tested positive for the virus, he was happy they were repatriated.

“If these children were not brought to us, they simply would have died in Kano. Some of them would survive the disease, but the situation in Kano is overwhelming and I don’t think that anybody in Kano will want to look after them and test them,” he added.

KanyiDaily had reported that over 60 Almajiris who were brought from Kano State, have tested positive for coronavirus in Kaduna State.
