From Ibrahim Kaulahi, Gusau
Ahead of 29th May, Governor Dauda Lawal of Zamfara State has commissioned a modern Quranic School in company of the Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Sa’ad Abubakar III in Gummi local government area.
Speaking during the commissioning ceremony, Governor Dauda, said the establishment of the school is part of the campaign promises aimed at promoting combined Islamic Religious Knowledge and western education.
Other projects visited by Governor Lawal were the newly constructed hospital in Nasarawa Burkullu under Bukkuyum local government area and the other renovated hospital in Maru local government area of the state.
The Governor while delivering his speech at Gummi, emphasized the need to educate the up growing children in the modern Quranic Schools in the state with a view to prepare them with peace-loving and brothers keepers attitudes.
He further cried that, the alarming rate of insecurity bedeviled the state and the entire nation was the handiwork of evil who always accommodates illiteracy as his sole tool to derail the society into crimes and cruelties.
“Zamfara has been one of the states that slipped into the target of banditry and other heinous crimes therefore, desperately needs to be educated to avoid producing crime-living generations instead”, Governor Lawal has stressed.
In his remarks shortly after cutting the tape, the Sultan of Sokoto, Sa’ad Abubakar III, positioned that, the commissioned school is unique as it would not graduate students who will later become street beggers.
“This type of Quranic school would teach, train and discipline it’s students to become lucrative products in the society as it doubles as a ground to inculcate patriotism and both ethic and religious tolerance”, the Sultan has added.
