United Nations Children’s Fund has commended Adamawa State Governor, Ahmadu Fintiri, for signing the child protection bill into law. In a statement yesterday, UNICEF representative in Nigeria, Ms. Cristian Munduate, urged other governors to emulate Fintiri’s gesture.
“The law aims to safeguard the rights of children by preventing and addressing the killing and maiming of children, child labour, abduction of children, sexual violence against children as well as recruitment and use of children by armed groups, among other grave violations of their rights.” He added: “With the signing into law the Child Protection Bill by the government of Adamawa, only Kano, Bauchi and Gombe states are yet to domesticate the Child Rights Act. UNICEF will continue to work with the government of Adamawa to operationalise the law and bring perpetrators and violators into account.”
MEANWHILE, participants at a UNICEF training of teachers on child-centred approach in focus areas in Jigawa State have been urged to fully implement all the learning techniques they acquired during the training in their respective schools.
