Sudan Crises: 41 Of 107 Jigawa Students Return Home

41 of the 107 Jigawa indigenes studying medicine in Sudan have arrived in Dutse, the state capital on Monday after their evacuation by the Federal Government from the conflict-ridden country.

Dr Abubakar Sani, the Executive Secretary, Jigawa Islamic Education Bureau (IEB), who received the returnees on behalf of the state’s Commissioner of Education, Dr Lawan Danzomo, said he is glad they are home safe.

He expressed happiness as none of the students was either injured or fall sick as a result of the ongoing conflict in Sudan.

“We thank Almighty Allah for saving your lives and none of you has sustained any injury or fall sick.

"Honestly you’ve enjoyed the concerns of the Federal and Jigawa Governments in moving you out of that conflict zone.

“So you have to appreciate all of them, including the Jigawa state governor-elect, Malam Umar Namadi, for their efforts and concern to bring you back home safely.

“And now that you’re back home, you have to have at the back of your mind that this is part of the will of Allah as none of us wanted this to happen, but Allah has decreed that to happen and it has happened.

“And since you’re alive, you need to be patient and prayerful and don’t talk about this experience negatively.

“This is because Allah didn’t make this to happen to you because he does not like you, but rather to test your faith and strong belief in Him,” Sani stated.

Also speaking, the Director-General, Jigawa Education Monitoring Bureau (SEMU), Malam Abdullahi Yunusa, advised the returnees not to be deterred by their return home without completing their studies.

Yunusa urged them to continue to read thier books at home pending when the government would decide on the fate of their studies.
