Kebbi State Governor, Abubakar Bagudu has said his government has incorporated western education into Qur’anic system of education to help students of Qur’anic schools compete on a fairground with students of conventional schools.
Gov Abubakar disclosed this yesterday at the 2-day International Conference on Gender-Based Violence organized by the Zaki’s Gem General Services Limited, an NGO.
Represented by the state Head of Service, Alhaji Tanko Musa, the governor said the move was to make sure kids in the state get familiar with both Qur’anic and Western education so they can compete fairly with other kids.
His words, “We institutionalised relevant ministries, departments and agencies (MDAs) in this state especially, Ministries of Justice, Education and Women Affairs to ensure the success of the government activities to reduce child abuse and gender-based violence in the society.
“We are recording progress in addressing out-of-school children, Vesico-Vaginal Fistula (VVF) issues and other social protection challenges that may lead to violence or other crimes against human beings in general.”
He also vowed that the state government would keep partnering with the NGOs, CSOs and other stakeholders to bring development to the state.
