Lere Olayinka, media aide to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has raised concerns over insecurity in Northern Nigeria, linking it to the growing number of abandoned children.
In a post shared on his handle on Tuesday, Olayinka posted images of children on the streets begging for food and money, drawing attention to their condition.
He argued that many individuals involved in terrorism and banditry today were once vulnerable children who grew up without care, education, or support.
Olayinka stressed that it is irresponsible for individuals who cannot adequately cater to a small family to take multiple wives and have many children.
According to him, neglected children are likely to grow up frustrated, desperate, and potentially dangerous.
He also questioned how such children end up on the streets and what their future holds, noting that the issue requires urgent attention.
While acknowledging that some may blame the government, he maintained that personal responsibility must also be considered, especially in cases where individuals with limited income choose to have large families.
