According to Nivo News, this followed a high-level meeting between Nigeria’s First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, and the Foundation’s Founder, Her Highness Sheikha Moza Bint Nasser Al-Missned, in Doha.
Senator Tinubu, who led the Nigerian delegation, sought the Foundation’s collaboration in addressing the country’s staggering figure of over 15 million out-of-school children — the highest in the world. She explained that the Federal Government, through the Ministry of Education, is implementing a new model of Almajiri Education Schools that will combine both Islamic and formal learning systems.
In a statement issued by her Senior Special Assistant on Media, Busola Kukoyi, the First Lady emphasized that the initiative aims to create safe, inclusive learning environments equipped with mosques, boarding facilities, and skill acquisition centers for children, caregivers, and Imams.
“This holistic model will ensure children receive both formal and Islamic education free from exploitation while gaining life skills that prepare them to contribute productively to society,” Mrs. Tinubu said.
She highlighted the importance of global collaboration in tackling the education crisis, noting that Nigeria cannot achieve this massive goal alone. “Given the scale of this challenge and the competing demands on our national resources, we need visionary partners like Your Highness to help make this dream a reality,” she added.
Mrs. Tinubu also commended Sheikha Moza for her exemplary global humanitarian work and the Foundation’s notable achievements in education, including the establishment of the Education City and the Qatar National Library.
“I’m particularly impressed by your success in enrolling over 10 million marginalized children in school. Seeing your remarkable impact gives us hope that true change is attainable,” she remarked.
In response, Sheikha Moza, who chairs the Qatar Foundation, pledged the Foundation’s active involvement in supporting Nigeria’s Almajiri and Out-of-School Children Education initiative. She disclosed plans to collaborate directly with Nigeria’s Ministry of Education to provide technical assistance and training for teachers and school administrators to ensure quality outcomes.
During her visit, Senator Tinubu also toured the Foundation’s headquarters in Doha, where she was received by the CEO, Yousif Al Na’am, and senior officials. She was informed that Nigeria already has 41 alumni from the Muhammad Khalifa University affiliated with the Foundation.
Accompanying the First Lady on the visit were the Coordinating Minister of Health and Social Welfare, Prof. Muhammad Ali Pate; the Minister of State for Education, Prof. Suwaiba Ahmed; and the Executive Secretary of the National Commission for Almajiri and Out-of-School Children Education, Dr. Muhammad Sani Idris.

FROM BEHIND BARS! Uwazuruike Drops Bombshell: Nnamdi Kanu Is Recruiting Igbo Youth For Violence From Prison!.
Ralph Uwazuruike, an agitator for the Biafran nation, has accused Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), of continuing to recruit Igbo youths for violent activities from his prison cell in Sokoto. Uwazuruike claims that this ongoing recruitment is directly responsible for the deaths of many young people.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
-
Call to Action: He urged Igbo leaders and the pan-Igbo organization, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, to travel to Sokoto to demand that Kanu cease his recruitment efforts.
-
Opposition to Violence: Uwazuruike emphasized his own aversion to violence and questioned how someone serving a life sentence for terrorism can continue to mobilize youths for such causes.
-
Advocacy for Amnesty: He questioned why IPOB members cannot renounce violence and seek government amnesty and rehabilitation, similar to the programs offered to repentant terrorists and bandits in northern Nigeria.
-
Context of Allegations: Uwazuruike’s comments appear to be prompted by recent social media videos featuring hooded, armed militants who claim loyalty to Kanu and threaten further violence in the South East to secure his release.
-
Leadership Changes: These concerns also follow reports that Kanu has restructured his leadership team from prison and initiated a vague “100-man-project”.

Pattern of Violence: MACBAN noted that this incident follows a recent attack on the deceased’s son, a lawyer, in a village last week, further supporting the need for a thorough and transparent investigation.
-
Broader Impact: The association emphasized that targeting community leaders and peace advocates actively sabotages efforts toward dialogue and peaceful coexistence.
