School Enrolment: Board Solicits Religious Leaders’ Support
The Niger State Primary School Management Board, has solicited the support of traditional and religious leaders in the ongoing campaign for enrolments of pupils in primary schools across the state.
Alhaji Abdulkadir Nahuntuwa, a principal officer of the board made the plea in an interview with newsmen in Minna at the weekend.
He said that the board had reached out to religious leaders to educate parents on the importance of education.
He said that the approach would enable parents to enrol their younger ones to acquire western education in the state.
He expressed optimism that the involvement of stakeholders would assist to promote girl-child education.
“Our people had for long developed a listening culture to what traditional and religious leaders say.
”So, we will take such advantage to reach out to parents to ensure massive enrolments of our children,” he said.
He, however, called on all stakeholders to complement the efforts of the board in sensitising parents to also accord priority attention to girl-child education .
Nahuntuwa said that education remained the only legacy any responsible government and parents could leave behind for future generations.
He urged parents to ensure proper upbringing of their children by enrolling them to acquire western education.
According to him, proper upbringing of the pupils will curb moral decadence and enable them to contribute their quota to the development of a better society.
He urged parents to live an exemplary life by shunning all negative acts so as to inculcate good moral values on their children.
He also said that there would be permanent peace in the society if parents allowed their children to acquire western education.
He appealed to non-governmental organisations and well spirited individuals to complement the effort of the board in mobilising parents to allow their children to acquire western education along with Islamic education.
