    Abdu-Mani, represented by the Permanent Secretary of the Department, Alhaji Aminu Badaru, maintained that the programme had verified and documented the data of 148,252 almajiri and out-of-school adolescent girls.

    “The programme established safe spaces where basic literacy, life and vocational skills were offered to the beneficiaries in Katsina, Rimi, Kaita, Batagarawa, Mani and Daura Local Government Areas.

    “I wish to express my deep appreciation and gratitude to Gov. Radda for all the support and cooperation being rendered to the department to implement its programmes and activities.

    “I also wish to commend UNICEF for its support towards implementing child protection programmes in Katsina,” Abdu-Mani said.

    In her presentation, the Child Protection Officer, UNICEF Kano Field Office, Mrs Rahila Manasseh, spoke extensively on the programme closure and its sustainability by the Katsina Government.

    Manasseh said that the government would sustain the programme through the establishment of Community Adolescent Hubs in the six focus local government areas.
