Mrs Buhari, represented by Kwara State First Lady and Secretary of the Nigeria Governors’ Wives Forum, Mrs Olufolake Abdul-Razaq, said eradication of child labour requires a systematic approach and effective policies to strengthen social protection systems, education, and decent work opportunities for parents and caregivers to address the conditions that drive child labour.
