30% of Northern youths are almajiris - NGO Hassan Ibrahim, Kaduna - 09.04.2009 The[b] Arewa Youth Mobilisation, a non-governmental organisation has presented statistics showing that 30 per cent of Northern youths are street beggars. The NGO also called on the Kaduna State government to abolish the act of street begging in the state. In an interview in Kaduna on Tuesday, the Secretary General of the NGO, Yusuf A. Barau, lamented that begging had become a tradition and a way of life in the North. He alleged that parents now saw it as a source of income to earn a living. “We have conducted a research and our statistics have shown that over 30 per cent of Northern youths between the ages of four to 13 are street beggars. These youths are children who do not know anything or think for themselves. “ He said the NGO was creating awareness and enlightening parents of almajiris to bring back their children.
