Identifying Sources of Generating Revenue in Private Islamiyyah Schools for Effective Islamic Education in Northern Nigeria

Funds generation is one of the my or tasks of an administrator of Islamiyyah School apart from instilling Islamic knowledge, ethics and morality on the pupils/students, The success of any Islamiyyah school depends very much on the way the financial inputs are generated and this in turn, affects the overall performance and effective acquisition of Islamic Education in the Islamiyyah School in Northern Nigeria. It is therefore important that all administrators of Islamiyyah Schools should have basic knowledge of finance for effective funds generation. Nevertheless, fund generation and management is one of the areas where many practicing administrators of Islamiyyah Schools in Northern Nigeria have never undergone any pre-service or in-service training and this has contributed to the failures of many Islamiyyah Schools in Northern Nigeria to generate and managed funds for school progress and development. The paper discovers that for any Islamiyyah school to operate effectively and discharge it educational, moral and ethical responsibilities, it must have funds; and therefore the paper identifies ways to generate revenue locally for Islamiyyah Schools to effectively operate in Northern Nigeria. The paper hopes that perhaps the findings may reverse the current trend of bankrupcy in many Islamiyyah Schools in Northern Nigeria and help equip the administrators with the necessary knowledge and methodology of good sources of funds generation system.
