challenges
On the challenges confronting Anbarriya, Sheik Abdul Samie Issah mentioned infrastructure and motivation of graduates as a big issue. We have satellites branch outside the main campuses where there should have been a structure for the college of education to be expanded to include other subjects but not only for the teaching of theology.
The college he said currently uses morning session students’ structure after they closed. Motivation for graduates from the college thus material and physical to teach Arabic, especially when Arabic is an international language and politicians making promises of including Arabic language into the curriculum emphasized the need for attention to be paid to it.
Ghanaians are religious and religiously minded people but to avoid to people being fraudsters in the name of religion. This, he noted will not only help Anbarriya but also the government because is of national interest.
Another key challenge facing Anbarriya according to Sheik Abdul-Samie Issah, was how to get their own media house aside social media to champion the ideology and propagate Islam properly to the people.
Enhance communication structure such as radio and television station, he emphasized, was key and we have started the process of acquiring radio frequency and TV channel but certain infrastructure was needed and helping hands are welcome.
On Anbarriya having its own education Unit, the secretary recalled how he carried documents to Accra during the late President Mills regime to Tamale south MP, Haruna Iddrisu. The MP he recounted did his part by leading to him to the then education minister, Mr Alex Tettey- Enyo and up to date, they are yet to get feedback.
