Nasarawa State government has repatriated no fewer than 788 almajiris to their various home states amidst Covid-19 pandemic.

This was disclosed by Nasarawa State Governor, Mr Andullahi Sule, while addressing the first batch of the almajiris from the southern zone of the state on Sunday.

According to Governor Sule, the agreement to repatriate the almajiris was reached when the northern governors met recently in Abuja to curtail the spread of the deadly COVID-19.

Biding farewell to the almajiris in Government Science Schools, Lafia, the governor said the move was in good intention and not in bad motive.

He added that the essence was for their parents to take proper care of them.
