In continuation of the directive given by the Executive Governor of Kano State, Abba Kabir Yusuf, the Commissioner for Religious Affairs, Ahmad Tijjani Auwalu, embarked on an inspection tour of modern Tsangaya Schools constructed since 2014 across fourteen local government areas in the state.
During the visit to Madobi, Garo in Kano local government Area,and Dandishe in Dallas Local Government Area,the Commissioner was dismayed by the deplorable condition of the Tsangaya school in Dandishe.
The school was in total dilapidated conditions, with evidence of flooding and other forms of neglect.
Ahmad Tijjani Auwalu expressed disappointment at the school’s condition and assured that a comprehensive report would be submitted to the Governor for necessary action.
The Commissioner further highlighted concerns regarding the admission process, noting that it deviated from the original mission of catering for the dropout children, orphans, and those who are unable to afford education, instead, many pupils admitted were found to be from families capable of sponsoring their children’s education.
To align with the program’s objectives, the Commissioner proposed a revised admission policy, suggesting that at least 30% of admissions be allocated to children from families who can afford education, while 70% be reserved for dropout children and those in need.
