Gumi builds schools for herdsmen

Sheikh (Dr.) Ahmad Gumi, a controversial Islamic cleric, has established a school for herdsmen.

The school named Sheikh Uthman Bin Fodio Centre was constructed at Kagarko Grazing Reserve near Kohoto Village in Kaduna state.

Gumi, while on inspection of the school on Monday, said it was built to educate herdsmen and curb their violent ideologies.

He added that if such a center is replicated everywhere, Nigerians will live in peace.

Gumi said:

“Instead of spending billions on military hardware to fight the bandits, Nigeria should spend such money on schools and teachers. I have spoken with the bandits and they have expressed willingness to drop their arms and embrace peace if their children can be given education and other social amenities.

"What motivated me to start this project was to solve the insecurity problem we have from the root because every crime has its perpetrators and perpetrators are drawn from a pool so we want to go there and dry the pool and we found out that education is the best cure.

“If they are educated, they will not be doing what they are doing. So, we say we must take education to the grassroots and we embarked on the project to also be an example for others, local government, state and federal and rich individuals even cooperative societies to come together and make sure that we are directed across the forest to know what we can do to carter for nomads; it does not cost much, very little and it will help to educate them and we will live peacefully with them.
