In its determined efforts to rid the state environment of young beggars daily increasing in their numbers in the name of ‘Almajiris’, the Nasarawa State government said it will soon commence the process of repatriating over 30,000 almajiris, below the ages of 10 to their various states of origin.

This was part of the decisions reached at the State’s Executive Council meeting held, on Wednesday evening, at Government House, Lafia.

The commissioner for women affairs and social development, Halima Ahmadu Jabiru, disclosed this shortly after the state SEC meeting.

The decision of the State’s Executive Council is coming a week after the state governor, Abdullahi Sule, signed a law banning street begging in the state.
