The governor said, “We will, therefore, continue to take delivery of every Almajiri pupil indigene of Kaduna State for rehabilitation, treatment and enrolment into formal school nearest to where their parents live. “As such, no parent has any excuse for his child not to go to school. “Those that cannot proceed to senior secondary school will have the opportunity to go to vocational school, also free,” he added.
