NGO Community Support and Development (CISAD) Initiative has called on Kano State Government to re-open Islamic Schools in the State, North-Western Nigeria.
The Head of the NGO Hajiya Zainab Ahmad Suleiman OFR stated this after the distribution of hand sanitizers to some Islamic Schools in Kano who are in Vacation.
Hajiya Zainab said the Islamic Schools closed to their office have benefitted from the gesture considering the fact that many of the schools can not afford to have the hand sanitizers hence the distribution by her NGO.

“As mothers, we are pleading to Kano State Government to –reopen the Islamic Schools in Kano, most of the Teachers tutoring our children relied on the stipends they are getting from the parents, therefore re-opening the Islamic schools will be of great importance for the Teachers and the Parents”
She said Islamic School Teachers need the little stipends from the parents, As such, we are pleading with the state government to look into the issue and make sure that the schools are open.
Zainab Ahmad Suleiman OFR added that prayer is one of the greatest weapons and with opening the schools, the kids will intensify in Prayer to make sure COVID-19 has gone down in Kano.
She said many parents and the schools cannot afford to have the face masks and hand sanitizers, helping them will aid in fighting COVID-19.
“Before Kano is the no one state with cases of COVID 19 and it went down to number two and number three and we hope in future the state will be the number 36 as COVID 19 ridden state in Nigeria,” said the Head of the NGO, CISAD
Hajiya Zainab Ahmad pointed out that other Islamic Schools in Kano will also be given hand Sanitizers by her NGO that is Community Supports and Development Initiative.
She said it’s not easy for parents and their wards to stay idle without going to school for five consecutive months which is very critical to their lives that is why her NGO is appealing to Government to look into teachers’ plight.
She also urged proprietors of Islamic Schools in the state to make sure that they clean their school’s environment well ahead of the resumption.
