The Kano State Governor Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje has said
that Almajiris are the breeding ground of Coronavirus because they lack all the
basic sanitation and Hygiene needed to prevent the diseases.
The Governor spoke during the training of 650 Healthcare
Workers on how to manage Almajiris and other victims of Coronavirus in Kano.
He said already Kano has 2000 Almajiris at their three
different Isolation Centers of Gabasawa, Kiru and Karaye local government areas
of the State.
” Why I said that the Almajiris are the Breeding Ground of
COVID 19 is because these children are so vulnerable they are without
Sanitations, no good health, no good food and they live in a more congested
place, this makes them a breeding ground “.
However, Governor Ganduje insisted that his administration’s
intention is to fully integrate the Almajiris system into the formal School
system in the State.
Adding, ” We have now categorized the Almajiris into three
those who are from Kano, those who came from other states and those who are
just rooming about and could not even identify where they came from”.
“In this case, we are going to make sure that those that
came from other states are been fully tested and returned back to their states
while those from Kano would also be tested and afterward we will now integrate
them into our school system and for those who don’t know where they even came
from they are our sons we will also integrate them into our schools”.
Governor Ganduje told the trained Healthcare Workers that
their reward is in heaven but that the government after COVID 19 will document
their names and they would be rewarded.
Dr. Aminu Ibrahim Tsanyawa the State Health Commissioner
explained that all the trained Healthcare Workers would be deployed to manage
the Quarantined 2000 Almajiris.
He said the Almajiris would be tested and those who are
positive would be taken to Isolation Centers while those who are not positive
would be cleared and taken to their various states.
