Photo of young boy registered as errand boy at the Ahmadu Bello University Zaria

Imam Imam who is the spokesperson of Sokoto state governor, shared this photo on his Facebook page. According to him, the management of ABU Zaria has now accepted 'child labour' by registering children to run errands within its premises.

We used to call them 'any work' back in UNILAG. But is there anything wrong with the School management registering them? In western world, youngsters who want to, can start working at 16.
