Hajiya Huriyya, who received the boy in her office on Thursday, promised to enrol him in military school if he shows interest in studying.
She also promised to render financial assistance to the boy and his mother.
Earlier, Commissioner for Women, Children and Social Development Affairs, Dr Nafisa Muhammad Maradun, pledged the state government’s support for the boy.
Pmnews.ng recalls that, sometime last month, a video which trended online showed an eight-year-old boy expressing grief over the killing of his father and vowing to take revenge.
