The Islamic Development Bank (IDB) revealed some plans to invest $98 million for the implementation of bilingual education in Nigeria.
The funds will be used in supplying support for the integration of Quranic schools into western education. The bank’s decision is focused at improving enrolment in schools, most especially for the girl child.
Before stating its developmental plans for Nigeria, the president of the bank, Dr. Ahmad al-Madani, corrected the notion that the bank is a religious institution.
