The Katsina State Children Parliament has said that the aim of the Child Protection Bill signed into law last year by the state government would be of no
The plenary session, presided over by the House Speaker, Ibrahim Maharazu, disclosed this during its fourth session held on Friday at the state’s House of Assembly Complex.
According to her, it is high time to stop favouring child abuse in the state by ensuring that the efforts of those who worked hard to see that the law was passed do not end in futility. “They say a bill is not a law until it is ‘passed and assented to’ but we say ‘a law is not a law until it is implemented’,” Nakano said.
On her part, the cosponsor of the motion, Hajara Yusuf, representing Danja Constituency, said there is need for members of the public to be well enlightened on the Child Protection Law to enable it achieve its purpose of reaching the targeted audience. In the same vein, the member of Parliament representing Batsari constituency, Umma Abubakar, in a motion titled, ‘Persistent Insecurity in Katsina State’, seconded by Hon. Ibrahim Sani, representing Safana Constituency, called on the state government to intensify effort and bring to an end the prevailing insecurity situation witnessed in the state.
