A group University of Maiduguri Muslim Women Association (UMMWA) has complained that the Boko Haram insurgency in the Northeastern region has made many women and girls beggars in the area.
The coordinator of the group established to foster unity at the university community, Hajiya Hassana Ibrahim Waziri, said it is alarming the rate at which women and girls are now begging on the streets of Maiduguri due to the insurgency affecting the state.
Hajiya Hassana who was speaking at the weekend in Maiduguri at a workshop organised for domestic and casual women workers of the university, said one of the objectives of the group is to discourage street begging by women and girls.
According to her, the workshop was organized in partnership with the Nigeria Stability and Reconciliation Programme(NSRP), to inculcate savings culture in the women and girls working as domestic workers at the university.
