Kano residents hail Ganduje ban on street begging
DAILY POST reported that Ganduje gave the directive on Tuesday even as he threatened to prosecute parents of children found on the streets.
Some of the residents told the News Agency of Nigeria in Kano that the directive would add more value in the state. “The number of children roaming the streets of Kano during school days showed that parents somewhere have failed in carrying out their responsibilities. An Islamic scholar, Sheikh Ahmad Salih, said the word almajiri used to describe child beggars in Northern Nigeria, which was adopted from the Arabic word, “Almuhajir.”
