Kenya, 17 July 2026 - Wajir Governor Ahmed Abdullahi joined Tahfidh teachers during their training and thanked them for the role they play in teaching the Quran and guiding the children.
Governor Abdullahi's engagement with Tahfidh teachers highlights the importance of their role in shaping the moral and spiritual development of children.
By publicly thanking these educators, the governor not only acknowledges their hard work but also emphasizes the value of Quranic education in nurturing responsible and well-rounded individuals.
This kind of support could lead to greater collaboration between the government and educational institutions, potentially improving resources and training for teachers in the North Eastern Kenya and beyond.
Such initiatives can foster a deeper appreciation for cultural and religious teachings, benefiting the community as a whole.
The Governor reaffirmed that his administration is committed to supporting the annual Quran competition and announced that they are taking steps to anchor the programme in law so that it becomes a county programme with a dedicated budget.

He also encouraged the teachers to continue playing their vital role beyond the classroom by creating awareness on the importance of National ID registration.
"Ensuring the people obtain identification documents is essential for accessing government services, exercising their rights and participating fully in national development," Governor Abdullahi said.
The Governor was joined by Wajir Senator Abass Sheikh Mohamed, who also thanked the Tahfidh teachers for their service to the communities.
