Governor Aminu Waziri Tambuwal has promised to render every assistance possible to a school founded by a Sokoto-based philanthropist to cater for over 150 children orphaned by Boko Haram.
The school, established by Alhaji Umarun Kwabo, will provide shelter, clothing, basic Islamic and Western education to the children in Sokoto, away from the conflict areas in the North East of the country.
“This gesture is not only commendable, but worthy of emulation by all persons. Seeing these children happy is both touching and encouraging. In my personal capacity and as government, we will render our assistance to ensure that the children are comfortable,” the governor’s spokesman, Malam Imam Imam, quoted Tambuwal as saying.
Speaking further when he visited the school and boarding facility provided for the children, Tambuwal directed officials from the ministries of health and social welfare development to constantly monitor the progress of the children and ensure they were comfortable at all times.
