My fellow Nigerians and our dear children,we prioritize child protection under the renewed hope agenda. This includes the full implementation of Nigeria’s National Plan of Action on Ending Violence Against Children (2024 “2030), which I recently launched. The Plan provides a comprehensive roadmap to prevent abuse,prosecute perpetrators, and support victims, backed by robust financing and multi-sectoral coordination.
I am pleased to note that 36 states have domesticated the Child Rights Act,thus reflecting our collective resolve to protect and provide for welfare of children”.
