Sokoto Gov commissions Islamiyya School, Mosque

• Receives 2024 Hajj Report, Vows To Improve Exercise

Sokoto State Governor, Ahmed Aliyu, has commissioned the reconstructed Tahsinul Quran Islamiyya School and a mosque, with a call to the surrounding communities to safeguard the project from being vandalised. He said the project was in fulfillment of his earlier pledge to the Runjin Sambo communities to rebuild the school.

The governor revealed that his administration has awarded several contracts for the construction of Islamiyya schools and mosques, in addition to the renovation of various mosques across the state.

“This reconstruction of Tahsinul Quran is just one out of many projects we have awarded, most of which had since been completed.

“This project is part of our modest efforts to create a conducive teaching and learning environment in this school. “It is generally believed that for sound and quality education to be imparted on the children, a conducive learning environment must be provided,” he said.

Meanwhile, the governor has reiterated his administration’s determination to continue to improve on Hajj exercises in the state. He stated this while receiving the 2024 Hajj report from the leader of the state’s Hajj delegation and Speaker of the State House of Assembly, Tukur Bala Bodinga.

According to him, new measures would be introduced by his administration to ensure that subsequent Hajj exercises become more successful than the previous ones.

“The last Hajj operation in the state was indeed a success story but we would make sure that we improve in terms of good arrangements and welfare of pilgrims both at home and in the holy land.

“I commend the members of the State’s Hajj delegation and officials of the state Pilgrims Welfare Agency for the good arrangements and also thank our pilgrims for the orderly manner they have conducted themselves both here and in the holy land,” he said.

Earlier, Bodinga commended the support given to the 2024 Hajj Committee by the state government.
