Ebonyi PDP candidate promises action on child hawking
Ebonyi State PDP governorship candidate Ifeanyi Odii has pledged to end child hawking and the labour associated with house-help arrangements if elected. Punch Nigeria reports that he would pursue the plan by establishing skills-acquisition centres, but provides no further details on funding, timing or implementation.
Ifeanyi Odii, the Peoples Democratic Party’s governorship candidate in Ebonyi State, has pledged to end child hawking and child labour linked to house-help arrangements if elected, Punch Nigeria reports. Odii said he would create skills-acquisition centres as part of the plan. The available report does not specify how many centres he would establish or which skills they would teach.
It also gives no details of the proposed programme’s cost, timetable or the number of children it would cover. No response from other candidates, state officials or affected communities is included in the supplied material. The pledge is therefore presented as a campaign commitment rather than a launched government policy.
Further information about how it would be enforced or financed was not provided.
