Kano Councilor Takes 120 Out-Of-School Orphans Back To School
A councilor representing Achika Ward of Wudil Local Government Council of Kano State, Bashir Aliyu, has sponsored the enrolment of 120 out-of-school children in school.
In a ceremony to present education materials to the beneficiaries held at Achika ward on Sunday, Mr Aliyu said the gesture was aimed at securing their future.
Mr Aliyu said the beneficiaries would be enrolled at Government Junior Secondary School Achika and Government Arabic Junior Secondary School Achika.
He stated further that would sponsor the beneficiaries to study from junior up to senior secondary school even if he is not holding any political office.
The councillor noted that the gesture was his contribution towards the development of Kano state through empowerment of vulnerable and downtrodden.
He disclosed that he came up with the initiative in a bid to secure the future of children, especially orphans who nowadays found it difficult to achieve their education dream.
The councillor explained that out of the beneficiaries, 65 are girls while 54 are boys, adding that some of them, about 50, are school dropout.
“I will continue to look after these children until they graduate from secondary school. Empowering children, especially orphans, is a great service to humanity.
“They need the society’s support in order to be good and productive members of the society. Abandoning them would be dangerous.
“That is why I decided to sponsor their education from junior up to senior secondary school level even after my political appointment,” the councillor said.
Items distributed to the beneficiaries include 1,200 exercise books, 120 school bags, 240 sets of uniform and 120 pairs of shoe.
Others include 120 socks, 240 pens and 240 pieces of pencil.
