The Centre for Information Technology and Development (CITAD) has begun distributing educational materials to Fulani pupils in Kano State, linking education access to efforts to reduce insecurity.

At Bakin Kamanda Nomadic School in Danshoshiya, Kiru Local Government Area, CITAD Executive Director Dr. Yunusa Yau emphasized that lack of education is a key factor driving criminal activities. The initiative provided 100 uniforms, along with books and pencils, to encourage school attendance among Fulani nomadic children.

Dr. Yau highlighted that such support helps reduce involvement in social vices and called on government and stakeholders to intensify efforts for underserved communities. He assured that CITAD would continue such interventions, citing a similar program in Sumaila Local Government Area.

Village Head Yusuf Harisu stressed the importance of both Islamic and Western education for nomadic children to empower them for a better future. Ghali Sulaiman, Deputy Director of Nomadic Education at the Kano State Universal Basic Education Board, commended CITAD, noting it was the first such intervention he had seen at the school since its founding.

The initiative reflects ongoing efforts to improve education access in rural communities while addressing insecurity challenges.
