The wife of the President, Mrs Aisha Buhari
has promised to work with relevant agencies
to tackle issues of rape, forced and early
marriage, continuing prevalence of HIV and
drug abuse among youths in Northern
Nigeria.
Mrs Buhari stated this when she received the
wives of northern governors who paid her a
courtesy visit at the State House, Abuja on
Monday, October 31. The Northern Governors
wives forum had earlier met to discuss these
key challenges and ways of tackling them.
Mrs Aisha Buhari commended the northern
governors wives forum for identifying these
challenges and emphasized her readiness to
work with them to make sure that societal
ills in the country are addressed. She added
that her effort in assisting the less privileged
and vulnerable children in Nigeria wouldn't
have been possible without their support.
Also speaking, the wife of Kebbi State
Governor Dr. Zainab Bagudu, said they came
to felicitate with the president and the wife
of the President on the recent release of
some of the Chibok schoolgirls.
Dr Bagudu also said there was a big
improvement of the security situation in
Nigeria, especially in the north east. She
therefore expressed the hope that their
collaboration between the Governors wives
and the wife of the President would continue
to provide fruitful results that will benefit the
country as a whole.
