The state government in Kwara says it would henceforth prosecute any parent who offers his or her child as maid or house help in the state.

The announcement was made at a news conference in Bode Sa’adu in Moro Local Government Area of the state on the sideline of a rally against child trafficking and abuse yesterday.

The state governor, Abdulfatah Ahmed made this public through the Commissioner for Women Affairs, Hajiya Rahmat Adeshina-Abaya saying, “The state government is taking this sensitisation rally against child abuse and related issues to all the 16 local governments mainly to create awareness and enlighten parents and guardians and children against vices.

“We all must embrace education as the vital tool to national development.

“Government has therefore created an enabling environment for every child in the state to have access to free quality education.”
