Nigeria has joined the rest of the world in marking Children’s Day, a celebration dedicated to recognising the rights, wellbeing, and future development of children.
The annual observance highlights the importance of protecting children, improving access to quality education, and ensuring a safe and supportive environment for their growth and development.
Across the country, schools, communities, and organisations are expected to hold events, activities, and awareness programmes aimed at promoting child welfare and celebrating the potential of young people.
Stakeholders continue to emphasise the need for stronger investment in education, healthcare, and social protection systems to address challenges affecting children, including out-of-school rates, child labour, and access to basic services.
Government agencies and civil society groups have also used the occasion to call for renewed commitment to policies that safeguard children’s rights and create opportunities for a better future.
