| Empowering Almajiris through Quranic Education: Peter Obi's Call to Action |
During the conference, Obi announced his donation of N10 million to an almajiri school, encouraging the development of Quranic education in Nigeria. He expressed his willingness to support more almajiri schools, promoting the integration of Quranic education with western education.
In a recent media conference in Abuja, Peter Obi, the Labour Party's presidential candidate in the last general election, emphasized the need for special interventions in Quranic learning for almajiris, particularly in northern Nigeria. Obi urged wealthy Nigerians to support initiatives providing water and education to disadvantaged communities.
During the conference, Obi announced his donation of N10 million to an almajiri school, encouraging the development of Quranic education in Nigeria. He expressed his willingness to support more almajiri schools, promoting the integration of Quranic education with western education. This approach would enable students to learn English, mathematics, science, and other subjects alongside Quranic studies in the same classroom.
When asked if his efforts were linked to a potential 2027 presidential bid, Obi clarified that his actions are driven by a genuine desire to serve the nation, rather than political ambitions. His commitment to supporting almajiris and promoting inclusive education aligns with his vision for a more equitable and prosperous Nigeria.
Obi's call to action highlights the importance of addressing the educational needs of marginalized communities, ensuring that every individual has access to quality education and opportunities for growth. By supporting Quranic education and integrating it with western education, we can work towards a more inclusive and harmonious society. Let us join hands to empower the almajiris and create a brighter future for all.
