Niger Bans Street Begging - THISDAYLIVE

The Niger State government has banned street begging effective from February 26, 2020 but said the ban does not affect the almajiri system of education.

Idris said a committee has been set up to fine-tune the modalities for the implementation of the policy to ensure that it does not fail like previous arrangements. “We are putting in place a lifetime structure that will stand the test of time, street begging is a menace that we should all join hands to stop, those who are not from Niger State will be evacuated and taken to their states.

The commissioner however said that government has not outlawed the almajiri system of education, but warned that any almajiri found begging will be arrested and deported, adding that 80 per cent of almajiris roaming the streets of the state are not from Niger State.
