Kano State House of Assembly has pledged speedy passage of the Child Protection Bill into law.
According to the Deputy Speaker and Chairman House Standing Committee on Women Affairs and Social Development, Kabiru Hassan Dashi while declaring open a public hearing on Child Protection Bill 2022 on Thursday at the Chamber of the House on Thursday, the bill seeks to protect rights of children from abuse and improve the Welfare of Children in the State.
"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 adopts global best practice and safeguarding children from risks and all forms of exploitations," honourable Dashi said.
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.
Dashi assured that 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 the Executive Governor Dr Abdullahi Umar Ganduje for transmitting the bill to the House for deliberations consideration and subsequent passage into law.
