The Emir of Rano, Alhaji Muhammad Umar, has ascribed the successes achieved in his emirate on the acceptance of child spacing to the support received from the men, traditional and religious institutions. Umar made this disclosure while fielding answers from journalists who visited his palace as part of the “Solutions Journalism Field Reporting Trip,” describing the shift as one of the most significant changes in recent years. Umar said, “Our men have accepted different methods of child spacing, and this has helped reduce the situation where families have more children than they can cater to.
