Woman Recalls Strict Anti-Child-Hawking Policy Under Peter Obi in Anambra
1 / 3
A woman has recalled the strict school-attendance enforcement she says operated in Anambra State during Peter Obi’s tenure as governor. According to her account, children found hawking during school hours were taken to a police station. Their parents were then questioned about why the children were not in school, as education was free. The recollection has renewed debate over child hawking, compulsory education and whether similar enforcement could help keep more Nigerian children in school.
