Sayyada Aminatu, the Special Adviser to Governor Muhammad Inuwa Yahaya on Tsangaya and Almajirai, revealed this development in an interview with Daily Trust. She stated that her office would collaborate with the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) to register all Almajirai in the state.
Under this scheme, Identity Cards will be issued to Almajirai, providing them with identification and facilitating their movement without facing harassment. Aminatu expressed concern over the plight of Almajirai, particularly those abandoned by parents in Tsangaya schools without proper care arrangements, forcing them to fend for themselves.
She emphasized the need for a modernized educational approach, noting that while the education landscape has evolved, many Almajirai still roam the streets, becoming a nuisance at bus stops and other public places due to a lack of access to formal education.
Aminatu lamented the sight of Almajirai spending nights in motor parks and markets, highlighting their vulnerability in the face of the high cost of living. This initiative aims to address these challenges and provide Almajirai with better opportunities for education and livelihood.
