The Federal Government of Nigeria announced that it would open three boarding Bilingual Almajiri schools in the state in association with the Islamic Development Bank and the Gombe State Government.
The language of instruction in the schools would be Arabic, English and other languages commonly spoken in the area such as Hausa or Fulfulde.
In an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria in Gombe on Thursday, Babaji Babadidi, the Executive Chairman of the Gombe State Universal Basic Education Board, SUBEB, made this claim.
“The schools would be cited in Dogonruwa, Gombe South, Garin Hardo, Gombe Central and Tudun Wada Central Senatorial Districts.
He said, “It is the responsibility of the government to provide education to all manner of people; we do not want them to be going around without a formal education.
“We want the Almajirai to acquire both Islamic and western education in order to be better citizen tomorrow,” Babaji added.
