The Minister of Women’s Affairs, Uju Kennedy-Ohanenye, has advocated for the reduction of school days and the use of schoolchildren as workers to manufacture essentials such as toothpicks, sanitary pads, and cotton buds.
Kennedy-Ohanenye made the statement at the Anambra Investment Summit on Thursday, saying that children should be given a free day on Fridays to work in production facilities. According to her, the products made by the children would be sold in local markets, creating a new source of income for families.
“It’s best to look into more production of some of these things in our society, especially the necessities like the matchbox, the toothpick, the cotton balls, the sanitary pads, and stuff like that,” Kennedy-Ohanenye said.
