In a bid to address the issue of out-of-school children, particularly among nomadic Fulani communities, the Office of the Special Adviser to the Kebbi State Governor on Student Matters has flagged off the Kauran Gwandu Back-to-School Programme for Fulani children in Kebbi State.
The programme, which was flagged off in Alela, a nomadic settlement in Zauro Ward of Birnin Kebbi Local Government Area, saw the enrollment of 50 nomadic children into school.
The pupils were provided with uniforms, school bags, and essential learning materials to support their education.
Speaking during the flag-off ceremony, the Special Adviser to the Governor on Student Matters, Muhammad Majo, said the programme is aimed at strengthening access to and the quality of education among nomadic children.
He added that two teachers fluent in Fulfulde have been engaged to bridge the language gap and enhance classroom participation.
“This effort builds on earlier community interventions, including the facilitation of two solar-powered boreholes and the distribution of Ramadan palliatives—reflecting a continuous commitment to improving the welfare, dignity, and opportunities of Fulani nomads and their children,” he said.
