“Let
us work together to create a future where every child can learn, grow and
thrive. Education is a right not a privilege. Let us make it a reality for
all”
– Hon. Obidike Chukwuebuka (APC Chieftain).
The celebration of the 2024 World Children’s Day has come and gone but the scandalous statistics of the abysmal quality of the life of the average Nigerian youth stare us all in the face. Lest we deceive ourselves, there is cause for serious concern, with regards to the educational, healthcare and socio-economic status of our children, that we, as adults would be leaving for them.
