The Nigeria Association of Women Journalists, NAWOJ, FCT Chapter, wants the Federal Capital Territory Administration to address the increasing number of out of school children in the territory.
Chairperson NAWOJ FCT, Comrade Bassey Ita Ikpang made the call in her message to commemorate the Children’s Day Celebration in Abuja.
Ikpang lamented that many school-age children are involved in street hawking during school hours, rather than being in school.
Bassey while commending the efforts of the Mandate Secretary, FCTA Women Affairs and Children, Dr Adedayo Benjamin Laniyi since her appointment by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, urged her to do more for children, especially in taking them off the streets.
She also called for the protection of children’s rights and emphasized the need for a safer school environment across the country.
She enjoined parents and guardians to prioritize the education of their children and wards, particularly the girl child.
Ikpang also called on CSOs, school owners, religious bodies and government to pay proper attention to the protection of children’s basic Rights, and ensure that every child counts.
According to her, “the Child’s Rights, include, Right to Freedom of Movement, Right to Dignity of the Child, Right to survival and Development, Right to freedom from discrimination, inclusion in decision making, healthy environment, access to Medical health Care and Safety in Schools.”
