The Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Akinloye Owolabi Olakulehin, has declared that the number of out-of-school children across the country requires urgent attention.<\/p>\n

Olakulehin made this declaration while receiving the Executive Secretary of the National Commission for Almajiri and Out-of-School Children Education, Dr Muhammad Sani Idris and his team.<\/p>\n

The traditional ruler, while speaking, said that Almajiri and out-of-school children have become national issues.<\/p>\n

He maintained that urgent attention by the appropriate and relevant governments and their agencies is needed to tackle the problem.<\/p>\n

Olakulehin, who spoke through the Ekerin Balogun of Ibadanland, High Chief Akeem Bolaji Adewoyin, described the issue as a time bomb that requires urgent attention.<\/p>\n

The monarch said: \u201cThe issue of Almajiri and out-of-school children is a time bomb that can explode any time if necessary steps are not taken.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo combat this menace, traditional, cultural and religious approaches should be taken to overcome this anti-developmental malaise and security risk before it gets out of hand.\u201d<\/p>\n

Idris, in his address, expressed his gratitude for the warm reception accorded the members of the commission during the visit.<\/p>\n

He used the opportunity to appeal to traditional rulers across the country to join hands with the three tiers of government in Nigeria to tackle the menace.<\/p>\n

Idris urged parents and guardians to ensure the proper education of not only their children but other children around them for a better Nigeria.<\/p>\n

\u201cPresident Bola Tinubu directed me to visit you as one of the paramount rulers in the country to use your influence to reduce the number of Almajiri and out-of-school children, if not totally eradicated, to stop them from joining the deadly Boko Haram group recruiting them into their fold daily,\u201d he stated further.<\/p>\n

\u201cOver 500,000 Almajiri and 20 million plus out-of-school children are spread over our nation; we, therefore, should meaningfully engage to discourage them from various criminal activities.\u201d<\/p>\n
