Why Tackling Almajirci is Tricky

Also published in DAILY TRUST

A critical look into the successive federal and state governments’ attempts to address the issue of almajirci, and how the phenomenon has often defied all proposed and implemented measures anyway, would show an irony quite hard to unravel. It is obvious that, there are three main players involved in the whole equation i.e. government, parents and alarammomi i.e. the Qur’anic tutors under whose custody the children go through the process of learning and/or memorize the Qur’an.

I really wonder how much blood has to be shed in Plateau state before the stakeholders come to their senses. I believe even if the sand of Plateau state were a bloodthirsty beast, it would have had enough by now. Plateau state is by the way so blessed that, had it been lucky enough to be in another country, it would have been one of the most attractive states in the world. Unfortunately however, it is now crying for the attention of the people of conscience.
