The Emir of Kano, Malam Muhammadu Sanusi II, has urged State Governors in Northern Nigeria to convert Muslim worship centres to primary schools. The Emir made this disclosure during the graduation ceremony of 2500 Post Graduate Diploma and NCE teachers on Day 3 of Kano Basic Education Week. According to him, "If you look at our educational needs viz a viz the infrastructure deficit, it became imperative to convert existing mosque to primary school, and aside cost reduction on this era of recession, it would accelerate education development in the region. It is not all the time we pray and these utilities remain idle for the better part of the day. It will be highly rewarding if we convert them to learning institutions as obtained in other clime. When you convert these mosques to institution of learning in your domain, you have simply bring education to the door steps of citizens at less cost”.

It's a very good advice. I went to primary school in a church that's used as a school during school hours and as church during the church hours/days.

Very correct my brother

Another thing is hatred

I know many southerners thinks that kids in the north don't go to school

Them who?

More education mean more development

It's a good idea but how many schools have helped build in Kano state as the emir. every thing must not be left for Government alone many rich individuals can comfortably build at least a school in the communities.

Does the government own the mosques?

We all know schools are more important than mosques, or to put it more accurately the primary function of a Mosque should serve as a school then a worship site.
Through out the history of early Mosques serve as Madrassa because you have to learn how to even worship first before you can worship.
Also you can pray basically outside, but learning becomes tedious under such conditions. Enough said, am with the Mai Martaba on this.

I am beginning to like this man.

If all northern elites think like him, they'd make progress.

Their problem has always been illiteracy. It begets problems like the ones we have witnessed.

Hope they loosen up and embrace education a lot more.

sanusi u will soon b impeached

...add Religion to the list.

true.....too many mosques up there teaching how to be illiterates

Good one from the Economics gurus.
The only man that tells North the truth and the solution to their problems.
If there will be any other northern leader to back Sanusi on his crusade for a better northern Nigeria, I bet the high rate of illiteracy n poverty in the region will reduce drastically.
North over invested their emotions in religion and it is dragging them back.
Immediately, it is about 12:00am, and u enter their class to teach, they will be like :uncle time for prayer and if u try to force them, their mind will never be with u.

This religious bigot should keep quiet

BlackSeptember:
Put the North there

The truth unfortunately is that every one of us has suffered or is still being afflicted by this deliberate demons, directly or indirectly
