The Federal Government has spent N5 billion on 35 model Almajiri primary schools being built across the nation, Executive Secretary of Tertiary Education Trust Fund, TETF, Professor Mahmood Yakubu, has said.
Yakubu, spoke at a briefing in Sokoto, yesterday, ahead of the inauguration of the Almajiri Boarding Primary School scheduled to be performed by President Goodluck Jonathan at Gagi village in Sokoto South Local Government Area today.
He said the government spent the money in building, furnishing and equipping the 35 model schools located in 18 of the 19 northern states, from December 2010 till date.
Yakubu said: "The 35 schools, 10 of which are boarding and 25 are day schools were built by the fund, which exclude the 51 currently being put in place by the National Universal Education Commission , UBEC."
He added that all the schools, including the one in Auchi, Edo State, have state-of-the-art libraries, laboratories, ICT centres and vocational and technical education workshops.

Why? Western education is a sin, so why build schools for proud illiterates? Dem tell u say dem like book? Federal govt, abeg use that money to build more warehouse where we can store all the street beggers flooding the streets of our nation. Stop wasting money on people who despise anything good. Afterall, na only sugar cane and suya dem dey contribute to our economy.

YOU CAN SEE A HUG AMOUNT OF MONEY BEEN WASTED IN THE NORTH, AFTER SOME WEEKS NOW YOU WILL HEAR EXPLOSION FROM HEAR TO HEAR. I THINK FEDERAL GOVERNMENT MADE A VERY BIG MISTAKE ON THIS ISSUE AFTER KILLING OF INNOCENT PEOPLE ON SUNDAY THEY NOW COMPENSATED THEM WITH 5BILLION NAIRA.
You're right my brother. They more we build, the more they destroy so what's the point? I tell you exactly what the aboki's want. BOMB FACTORIES!! God forbid we grant them their heart desire. Na afghanistan, pakistan, iraq..etc nai dat one go happen.
