Governor Namadi Receives Delegation from Jam’iyyatul Tahfizul Qur’an Organization from Ta’if (Saudi Arabia)

The organization visited to establish a relationship with the Jigawa State government regarding the methods of teaching the Qur’an to the deaf and young children, as well as memorizing it in a short time.

The organization is renowned for teaching methods that enable the deaf and young children to memorize the Qur’an.

Last year, in January 2023, a special delegation from Jigawa State visited the Jam’iyyatul Tahfizul Qur’an organization to learn teaching techniques. Subsequently, the organization chose Jigawa and Kano states for a reciprocal visit to Nigeria.

In his address, the governor of Jigawa State expressed gratitude for the visit and reiterated his thanks for the reception given to the special delegation from the Jigawa State government last year.

The governor also described the visit as part of the effort to promote Qur’anic education, which is already among the priorities of the Jigawa State government, noting that 95% of Jigawa’s population are Muslims.

Moreover, the governor announced the state government’s plan to establish a special authority for Qur’anic education (Tsangaya Board), which has already passed the second reading in the Jigawa State House of Assembly.

The governor further disclosed the government’s plan to establish three major Tsangaya schools, which are currently under construction in the three senatorial districts of Jigawa State.

Each Tsangaya school is expected to accommodate around 2,000 students and provide teachers and housing for them. The government will also provide the teachers with farmland and agricultural inputs annually.

The governor emphasized that Qur’anic education is mandatory for all Muslims and urged the community to return to the Qur’an, considering the current state of the Muslim world.

In conclusion, the governor reiterated that Qur’anic education is a significant remedy for various societal issues and pledged substantial support for the Jam’iyyatul Tahfizul Qur’an center to teach the Qur’an throughout Jigawa State.
