The wife of Kaduna State governor, Hadiza El-Rufai has said Nigerians should adopt children for the right reasons.
She said this during a book chat on her novel, ‘The Abundance of Scorpions’ at Ake Arts and Book Festival in Abeokuta, Nigeria.

Mrs. El-Rufai added that unfortunately there are people who adopt for negative reasons, such as rituals and trafficking and there is need for people to be careful.

‘The Abundance of Scorpions’ is about an orphan in northern Nigeria and an attempt by the author to explore the subject of identity.
