the state just like his Kano countepart.
The governor while disclosing this

vowed that parents of children who beg would be punished.

street begging, provides punishment for parents who out of irresponsibility
throw away their children to street begging.
In this regard, Government has taken measures to enroll our children into
Tsangaya Schools with a view to addressing the menace.

Executive Order, 2005 will guarantee the safety, security, well being, good
