Kano Assembly
THE Kano State House of Assembly has pledged speedy passage of the Child Protection Bill which seeks to protect the rights of children from abuse and would improve the welfare of children in the state.
The Deputy Speaker and Chairman House Standing Committee on Women Affairs and Social Development, Hon. Kabiru Hassan Dashi, disclosed this on Thursday while declaring open a public hearing on the Child Protection Bill, 2022 held at the Chamber of the House today.
According to him, “it is my sincere belief that institutionalizing the legal framework governing child wellbeing and providing child protection law in the state will not only enlist the state ratings in the eyes of the international community but also adopt global best practice and safeguarding children from risks and all forms of exploitations.
He further assured the participants and all other stakeholders in the public hearing that they will take into cognizance their constructive inputs and will incorporate them into the draft bill.
The House would critically examine and ensure that no section or subsections of the proposed bill contradict the tenets and teaching of Islam.
He thanked Governor Abdullahi Ganduje for transmitting the bill to the House for deliberations, consideration and subsequent passage into law.
