The deputy commander, women’s wing of the Kano State
Hisbah Board, Kulthum Kassim, has counseled women to
support their husbands, especially during the Ramadan, as
they struggled to bring food to their families.
The commander made the call, on Sunday, at a Ramadan
lecture in Kano, noting that people were facing financial
difficulties.
”I am making this call because we have been receiving
cases where women have been mismanaging food items
brought by their husbands.
“There is a need for women to be considerate that their
husbands, no matter their trades, need support”, she said.
Mrs Kassim further appealed to women to show empathy
and manage whatever their husbands were able to provide
for them, saying that women had always been known to be
home managers not destroyers, thus they must be patient.
To the men, the commander charged them to avoid
stinginess and provide sufficiently for their families and
even neighbours, during the Holy month of Ramadan and
beyond.
