The Need for Kano State to Implement Policy of Zero Tolerance for all forms of Sexual Violence against Women and Children

The alarming increase rate of rape cases in Nigeria with Kano as inclusion has kept people wondering whether the Government is making any effort in fighting against Sexual Violence. According to the outcome of a survey published by the Ngozi Okwonjo-Iweala (NOI) polls, one in every three girls living in Nigeria could have experienced at least one form of sexual assault.

Nigeria braces as coronavirus hits mega city Lagos LAGOS - Nigeria's economic hub Lagos confirmed a case of new coronavirus on Friday, stirring memories of the fears sparked six years ago when West Africa's Ebola epidemic hit the chaotic megacity of 20 million. The health minister said the first confirmed case of the virus in sub-Saharan Africa was an Italian citizen who had returned from Milan earlier this week.
