Ms Alima Fauzia Abubakar, a Social Development Officer took the residents through some sections of the Children’s Act of 1998.
She educated them on rights of the children to life, shelter , education and healthcare and advised parents to protect their wards against rape and defilement that was gradually becoming acceptable behaviour in some communities.
She cautioned that such crimes should not be solved in the homes by collecting cash and items such as eggs, fowls, goats and cloths.
On sanitation, Ms Rejoice Boanyah the Deputy Environmental Health Officer, EKMA bemoaned the manner in which some tenants failed to sweep their surroundings and condemned the stealing of litter bins provided by the assembly.
