The governor said that the Kano state government has introduced compulsory free education – policy that will bring an end to the excessive Almajiri system.

“Part of our stakeholders for this noble policy are experts who specialise in basic education, some in science and technical education, some in assessment and quality control in education, some in examination management and also some would come from Almajiri system of education,” he said.
