BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY
The origin of mass in the north started in the late 1940s to early 1950s when the first bold step was taken with the establishment of the Northern Regional literacy Agency (NORLA) with in Zaria.
The main objectives of the Agency were to raise the literacy level of the northern Nigerian populace, hence it started with a vigorous campaign against illiteracy (YakidaJaluki). The Agency served as a resources center for planning and material development.
It received active support and from the regional government under the late premier, Alhaji sir Ahmadu Bello, the Sardauna of Sokoto who was personally at the forefront of the campaigners. He was doggedly followed by his ministers,
the provincial commissioners, together with the Emirs, and chiefs. As part of the of the Northern Regional literacy Agency (NORLA), it trained selected personnel as public enlightenment campaigners and posted them to various strategic locations all over the region.
It also established basic and material resources such as the primers for the delivery of adult literacy in defunct northern Nigeria (Yahaya 1994 p.19).
However, the 1976 states creation, gave rise to the breaking down of former northern Nigeria into six states as Northwestern, north-central, Northeastern, Benue, Plateau, Kano, and Kwara, and this resulted in the fall in the activities of NORLA.
Adult education was relegated to the background in favor of universal primary education (UPE) at unbelievable colossal sums of money with little achievement *(Yahaya 1994 p.19). In 1976 the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP) government with its philosophy of redemption in Kano state acted as a messiah.
After studying the lapses and crimes committed against adult literacy, the new government appointed a high-powered committee to work out the system to redeem adult education as a whole from the near-total collapse it suffered.
