Borno governor Zulum claims wrong teaching of Islamic studies contributed to emergence of Boko Haram

He said to curtail the adverse effects associated with Almajiri education; Borno State Government has established the Arabic and Sangaya Education Board, introducing a unified curriculum for Sangaya and Islamic schools.

“The Sangaya Reform is a great development and will give Almajiri a better chance in life, particularly the introduction of integrating western education, vocational, numeracy and literacy skills into the centres, which are also described as Almajiri and Islamic schools,” Zulum said.

He added, “Distinguished guests and esteemed educationists, the government intends to streamline the informal and formal education systems to quality integrated Sangaya school for admission into colleges and universities.”

”This summit provides a platform for participants to discuss issues, share insights and propose actionable solutions to the challenges faced by the Almajiri education system.

Earlier, Zulum, during his four-day working tour of five Local Government Areas (LGAs) in Borno South on Tuesday urged members of communities affected by insecurity in Southern Borno to always be ready to stand and defend themselves against any insurgents group.

“You cannot gain victory over Boko Haram unless you as the indigenous people in the areas stand to defend yourselves.

“You have to defend yourselves and this is very important,” he said

However, the Governor also called for the creation of a Brigade Command in Southern Borno to combat the lingering insecurity in some villages around the region.

Zulum said that the call for the establishment of Brigade Command is the best option in tackling the lingering insecurity in the state.

”Traditional rulers and local government chairmen in most of the places I visited, reechoed this call.
