President Bola Tinubu has approved the appointment of a new leadership for the National Commission for Almajiri and Out-of-School Children Education.
Brigadier-General Lawal Ja’afar Isa (Rtd) is now to serve as the Chairman of the Board of the Commission, while Dr. Idris Muhammad Sani is to serve as the Executive Secretary/CEO.
Periscope Nigeria reports that out-of-school children has become a major challenge for most state governments and residents.
Analysts claim they have become tools for criminal elements following how easy it’s to win their loyalty.
In the past Federal Government and some states adopted Better Education Service Delivery for All as approach to mop up out-of-school children into proper tsangaya facilities where they learnt skills as they got Quranic teachings.
