The Gombe State chapter of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), has kicked against an executive bill sponsored by Governor Muhammadu Yahaya, seeking to establish an Almajiri Agency in the state.
The state CAN Chairman, Joseph Shinga, who raised the issue at a press conference Monday, said the Christian body is seeking clarification on the executive bill which he said excludes other faiths apart from Islam.
According to Shinga, the 13-page executive bill named Gombe State Almajiri and Out-of-School Children’s Education Agency, did not carry CAN along, thereby sending a wrong signal that it was only meant for the Muslims.
