Nigeria's former President Goodluck Jonathan confirmed that some governors in the country were not exactly thrilled when he built Almajiri schools
According to him, the state leaders didn't mention anything to him unti he left office after losing the election to President Buhari.
The former president went on to note that in a bid to solve a wide range of security challenges facing the country, he asked governors of the 19 northern states to modify the Almajiri system of education
He said:
“When I was in office, I had to step in at a time, to even attempt to build Almajiri schools. I know that some of the governors probably were not happy but then, they didn’t tell me they were not happy, it was when I left office they said they weren’t happy.
“We used the federal government’s money from Universal Basic Education. It was just to partner with the State governments to create these learning environments, and I did that because of my knowledge about the ethno-religious crisis.”
According to him, Nigerian doesn’t spend money in developing the youths in order to give them functional education.
