INTERVIEW: Why We Are Focused on Educational Investments in Kano- Governor Kwankwaso
The days are gone when somebody will have so many children, and just select few and throw away the remaining in the name of Quranic education without providing them food, clothes, nothing. That is not acceptable. Our Islamic schools incorporate western education to keep the pupils and students up to date. The knowledge and skills they will acquire will surely improve their standard of living, spiritually, socially and religiously as they can be useful to themselves and useful to their parents and the society.
