CHILD TRAFFICKING AND CHILD ABUSE HAS TO COME TO AN END.

Trafficking in children is a global problem affecting large numbers of children. Some estimates have as many as 1.2 million children being trafficked every year. There is a demand for trafficked children as cheap labour or for sexual exploitation. Children and their families are often unaware of the dangers of trafficking, believing that better employment and lives lie in other countries.

Nigeria to build schools for 'begging' pupils


Nigeria to build schools for 'begging' pupils:
Initiative comes after pupils who should be attending Islamic classes ended up roaming streets.





Nigeria's federal government is building 100 new schools in the north to deal with the growing problem of young boys roaming the streets begging for food and money.
The boys are supposed to be in Islamic schools learning to recite the Quran, but many of them are going astray.

Yvonne Ndege reports from Sokoto.
