Dr. Muhammad Sani Idris, the Executive Secretary, NCAOOSCE, appeared before the House of Representatives Committee on Alternative Education to present and defend the Commission’s proposed 2026 budget
Speaking during the session, Dr. Idris outlined key milestones achieved by the Commission, including the establishment of the Tinubu Legacy Skills Training Institute in Kaduna. He disclosed that the institute has trained about 200 Almajiri in various vocational skills, while also exposing them to English and Arabic language studies. The trainees were prepared for and sat for the National Board for Arabic and Islamic Studies (NBAIS) examination, qualifying them for admission into higher institutions.
According to him, the Commission is also undertaking a nine-month skills acquisition and basic education programme for 150 girls at the Tinubu Legacy Skills Training Institute in Ibadan, Oyo State. The programme utilises the Accelerated Basic Education curriculum to equip beneficiaries with foundational education and practical skills.
Dr. Idris further revealed that about 200 learning centres for Almajiri and out-of-school children have been established across the country.
He added that the Commission has successfully developed a national policy on Almajiri education and carried out ward-to-ward advocacy campaigns in some states of the federation to promote inclusive education.
The Executive Secretary noted that with improved budgetary allocation, the Commission plans to replicate the Tinubu Legacy Skills Training Institutes in other parts of the country and expand its interventions to reach more beneficiaries.
In his remarks, the Chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on Alternative Education, Hon. Mustapha Ibrahim, commended the Executive Secretary for the Commission’s achievements. He assured that the Committee would work towards amending the Act establishing the Commission to ensure a sustainable funding source.
Hon. Ibrahim also pledged the Committee’s commitment to enhancing budgetary allocation for the Commission to enable it to effectively deliver on its mandate.
