The Yobe State Government has graduated 200 Almajiri youths who completed a six-month vocational training programme in ICT, solar installations, and other technical skills. The initiative, approved by Governor Mai Mala Buni, was carried out by the Arabic and Islamic Education Board (AISEB) to foster self-reliance and economic empowerment among Almajiri youth. Each participant received startup tools to support their entry into skilled trades. The programme focused on practical training, enabling the youths to gain marketable skills in growing sectors. Governor Buni, represented at the event by a senior official, emphasized the importance of integrating Almajiri children into mainstream education and economic life. He described the graduation as a step toward breaking the cycle of poverty and dependency. The state government plans to expand the initiative to more communities in the coming year.
Governor Mai Mala Buni approved a scheme to train Almajiri youths in modern skills while many Almajiri schools in Yobe still lack basic infrastructure. If the state can fund technical training for 200 youths, the same commitment should extend to overhauling the broader Almajiri education system. The startup tools given to graduates will mean little if the environment around them remains unchanged.
