He said the Federal Government also introduced social protection programmes to fight poverty, which is the major contributory factor to the prevalence of child labour in Nigeria.
“We have also taken more schools into the areas prone to child labour and made education free in the whole country through the Universal Basic Education and the Child Rights Acts. The minister however, commended the US Government for the recent technical assistance of the Department of Labour to West Africa.
“Ondo State was chosen as the pilot state for the fight against child labour in the area of cocoa farming. We think this is a good step in the right direction. The minister also said that vulnerable families send their underaged children to work in cocoa farms, mining sites, street hawking and petty trading.
Mr Ngige reiterated his proposal at the AGOA conference that US must assist Nigeria in fighting child labour in the area of capacity building and logistics, among others.
