The Nigerian government is establishing rehabilitation centers in the six geopolitical zones of the country for women affected by violence of all kinds, an official said Sunday.
Minister of Women Affairs and Social Development, Aisha Alhassan, disclosed this in Jalingo, the northeast Taraba state while highlighting the achievements of the Buhari Administration in the last one year.
She said the move was aimed at checking the increasing cases of abuse of women's rights in the country and catering for those already affected.
She said the ministry was also pushing for the enactment of relevant acts that criminalized violence against women and children in all the 36 states of the federation.
Alhassan said she was in Taraba on an official assignment to donate to the internally displaced persons (IDPs) and the less privileged as part of her ministry's mandate to enhance social development.
She called on the people of the state to be patient with, support and pray for the government to enable it to fix the country for a brighter future.
