ABUJA – Presidential Candidate of Labour Party in the February 25, 2023 general election, Peter Obi has strongly advocated for an educational approach that brings formal schooling directly to the Muslimima Almajiri school on-site.
Precise Post recalls that this is coming as the former Anambra state governor also supported Madarasatul Hidayyatul Auladi Muslimima Almajiri school in Kawo, Kaduna State with 10 million Naira towards their educational.
He made the call on Tuesday shortly after visiting the Madarasatul Hidayyatul Auladi Muslimima Almajiri school in Kawo, Kaduna State in continuation of his desire to identify with critical institutions for human development in the country.
Obi who took to his X account @PeterObi to make the call in a statement, said immersing himself in Quranic learning alongside the young people and witnessing their enthusiasm for Quranic education, reaffirmed his belief in the untapped potential within these young students, fluent in Arabic reading and writing. Adding that he is convinced that these students possess the capability to excel in various fields, from medicine and architecture to engineering, artificial intelligence, and beyond.
The full statement of the former Anambra state Governor reads in full:
“In continuation of my desire to identify with critical institutions for human development in the country, yesterday, I had the privilege of visiting the Madarasatul Hidayyatul Auladi Muslimima Almajiri school in Kawo, Kaduna State.
“During the visit, I was opportune to interact with leaders from similar facilities, representing the various local government areas in Kaduna State. I also spent time immersing myself in Quranic learning alongside the young people.
“Witnessing their enthusiasm for Quranic education reaffirmed my belief in the untapped potential within these young students, fluent in Arabic reading and writing. I am convinced that these students possess the capability to excel in various fields, from medicine and architecture to engineering, artificial intelligence, and beyond. As I interacted with them, I envisioned a future where they would become professors, doctors, lawyers, economists, captains of industries and competent political leaders.
“With a firm belief in their great future and significant contribution to our country, I strongly advocate for an educational approach that brings formal schooling directly to them on-site. This involves providing qualified teachers in English language, mathematics, social studies, environmental sciences, and Quranic Arabic studies, amongst other skills. My vision for Education transcends conventional boundaries, recognizing the immense value of cultivating diverse skills.
“With these and other methods that go beyond conventional educational learning, we will be able to pull millions of out-of-school children into the educational system. This will go a long way in transforming our society.
“Thrilled by the potentials I observed watching their activities and to continue my advocacy, I supported them with 10 million Naira towards their educational.
Together, let us champion the potential of every learner and pave the way for a brighter, more inclusive future for all.
A new Nigeria is not just a dream but a tangible possibility. -PO
