The speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, says implementation of the Child Rights Act means a lot to Nigeria’s future.
According to him, the Child Rights Act is the basis upon which the Nigerian child ought to be protected.
He spoke in Abuja on Tuesday at a public hearing organized by the House Committee on Poverty Alleviation on a bill titled ‘The Need to Eradicate Child Destitution and Remove Beggars from Nigerian Streets through Provision of Standardized Education System and Improved livelihood’.
The speaker, represented by House Chief Whip Muhammad Tahir Monguno, decried that despite the importance of the Act, some states were yet to enact it.
