 Also, Vice President Yame Oshiba-jo has given a nod to the adoption of Child Rights Act and Violence Against Persons Prohibition, V-A-P-P Act, by all states. He believes this is key to addressing issues of sexual and gender-based violence, GBV. Oshiba-jo made a call in Abuja on Tuesday at the two-day Northern Traditional and Religious Leaders Summit on Ending Gender-Based Violence. The vice president was represented by Mrs. Pauline Tallinn, Minister of Women Affairs. He described GBV as a pandemic within the pandemic. He expressed worry over the alarming spate of GBV in the society. This is despite the interventions of government and other stakeholders calling for a collective effort to end it.
