Also speaking at the event, the National President of the Folklore Society, Dr Bukar Usman said folklore is one of the best traditional ways of conveying a message, especially to children to teach them how to avoid negative things at their young age.

Usman, therefore, called on parents, especially the women to inculcate such culture as part of imparting very good moral upbringing to their children.
