Mallam Kawu Youths Rehabilitation and Orphanage Centre Graduates 33
Malam Kawu Youths Rehabilitation and Orphanage Centre (MKYROC) has recently graduated 33 students (MKYROC) in Bauchi with one of the beneficiaries from Cameroon republic.
Northeast Star Magazine reliably gathered that the beneficiaries come from various states and local governments of the country with only one coming from outside Nigeria.
According to the Chairman/ Proprietor of the centre, Abdullahi Muhammad Tahir, among the graduands, 4 are from Kano, Taraba State 3, while Gombe, Borno, and Yobe have one each, Toro LGA has 9, Bauchi LGA and Alkaleri LGA have 5 each, and then Dass has 2 while Ningi has 1.
While briefing newsmen shortly after the graduation ceremony, Tahir said that the major challenge facing the centre is the inordinate posture by some constituted authorities to pin him down.
According to him, he has become a victim of circumstances that the government often sends those he described as witches, to determine how the centre was being run to pick defaults for subsequent punishment or nasty treatment.
“Members of the SSS and DSS frequently visit this centre to find evasions on its operations. There was a day when an SSS officer was brought on admission with the sole aim of investigations. So I need prayers against these witch-hunts”, he urged.
Abdullahi Tahir expressed gratitude to Almighty Allah that all the 33 graduating students of the centre have accomplished 60 vices of the Holy Qur’an, saying apart from rehabilitating the vulnerable and refractory children, they were being trained on various skills to make them self-reliance after graduation.
The Chairman/proprietor however expressed dissatisfaction with the way and manner the centre is being segregated in terms of loans acquisition from financial institutions and organizations, saying they were denied even the recent agricultural loans, despite filling the necessary forms.
Malam Abdullahi Tahir recalled that they have on several occasions sought small-scale loans to empower the students of the centre, not only to make them self-reliant after graduation but also useful members of the society.
He used the opportunity to thank the media for their usual support, cooperation, and understanding with constant publicity accorded him that has made the centre what it is today and hoped that the relationship will continue, to enable him to succeed in his humanitarian activities.
