CHILDREN’S DAY: FG REAFFIRMS COMMITMENT TO INCLUSIVE CHILD PROTECTION POLICIES

The Federal Government has reaffirmed its commitment to strengthening inclusive child protection policies as Nigeria marks this year’s Children’s Day celebration.

Government officials said efforts are ongoing to improve the welfare, safety, education, and overall development of children across the country, particularly those in vulnerable communities.

According to the authorities, inclusive child protection remains a priority, with renewed focus on addressing issues such as child abuse, trafficking, exploitation, out-of-school children, and access to quality healthcare and education.

The government also stressed the importance of collaboration between public institutions, parents, schools, and civil society groups in creating safer environments for children.

Officials noted that policies aimed at protecting children must ensure equal opportunities regardless of gender, disability, social background, or location.

The Children’s Day celebration was used to highlight the need for stronger investment in child development as part of broader national growth and human capital development efforts.

The Federal Government further encouraged Nigerians to continue advocating for the rights and well-being of children across the country.
