SCI Advocates Full Implementation Of Child Protection Law In Katsina

An International Non-Governmental Organisation, NGO is advocating for the full implementation of the recently passed child protection law in Katsina State.

The NGO, Save the Children, SCI says the implementation would create the needed impact and development of the child in Katsina.

The Head of Advocacy And Campaigns, Impact, Accountability, And Learning for the organisation, Vahir Kutluer, who said this during their visit to the Katsina State Governor, Dikko Radda, stressed that the implementation of the law will enable a better future for children in the state.

The Katsina Child Protection Law was signed by former Governor Aminu Masari on December 26, 2020, after much input and push by Save the Children International.

But since 2020, little or no efforts have been made for the implementation of the law, after it was domesticated.

This is why the NGO, led by the Head of Advocacy and Campaigns, Impact, Accountability, and Learning, Vahir Kutluer, is in Katsina, to advocate the implementation of the law.

Governor Dikko Radda promised to give all the necessary support, to see to the implementation of the law, even as plans are underway, to work towards reducing all health challenges that affect mothers and children.  

Radda further revealed plans by his administration to collaborate with the NGO, towards making the dreams of children in the state a reality.

The team was also accompanied by the Advocacy and Communications Coordinator in the state, Murjanatu Kabir, and the Advocacy and Campaigns Manager, Edith Gumut, among other staff.
