    He commended the state government for its efforts in improving child welfare but stressed that data-driven decision-making and legal frameworks are essential for sustainable progress.

    Additionally, the organization urged an expansion of birth registration for children under five, aiming to increase the current rate by at least 30%.

    Farah further emphasized the importance of leveraging local government data for planning and decision-making, stating that such measures would significantly contribute to reducing child poverty in Jigawa State.
