Niger state governors Dr. Babangida Aliyu has carpeted the senate president David Mark on his call for the banning of the Almajiri system saying, the solution to the system is not the banning because you don't ban a culture without having a replacement.
.
Speaking when the Senate Committee on Education paid him a courtesy visit in his office in Minna, Monday, the governor said many vital issues like their religion, culture and settlement have to be taken into consideration before thinking of banning the system.

"It is not just something you just wake up and say ban. It is the same thing like the Normadic schools introduced by the federal government some years ago and because we did not pay attention to their culture and religion, major problems started coming up and this is why the programme is not succeeding," he noted.
