The President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari , on Thursday, asked state governors to live up to their responsibilities by addressing social menace, including the Almajiri system in the North.
The retired major general noted that social issues, including the break down of family ties, divorce and the attendant effects on children were matters the states could handle.
Buhari recalled that his regime had given bailouts to the states since 2015 to address local challenges in their individual domains, adding that the money should be put to such use.The President said, “Most of the challenges affecting the family are within the mandates and the jurisdictions of state governments. In compliance with constitutional stipulations and provisions, we gave bailout to them to assist them in discharging these obligations and statutory mandates.
On her part, Aisha stated that social problems like the Almajiri system had worsened because of non-compliance with existing laws and policies.
