Kano State Governor, Abdullahi Ganduje, says Kano says he is excited about the decline in COVID-19 positive cases in the state.
He also said his government had abolished the Almajiri system of education.
Ganduje, who said these while giving an update on COVID-19 in Kano on Wednesday, said there was a great decline in the spread of the disease in the state because the people had adopted the safety measures to stop the pandemic.
The governor said, “Even though the state witnessed this decline in the spread of the disease, there are still areas of improvement which call for government’s efforts in community engagement.”
Ganduje said the state had established additional sample collection centres.
He said if the Almajiri system of education must be allowed in the state, there must to be guidelines to follow.
The guidelines, according to Ganduje, include having a curriculum that tallies with a formal school system.
Ganduje added that there must be qualified teachers to teach the Almajirai.
He said, “If these guidelines are strictly followed and abided by then we will allow for the system to fully be operated in Kano.”
