He said this in a statement signed by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Lanre Lasisi, Friday to commemorate this year’s Children’s Day celebration.

Gbajabiamila said children were worth celebrating for their visible determination to succeed against all odds, as exemplified by the many feats they have accomplished since the last celebration.

The Speaker, however, emphasised the need for concerted efforts to assist Nigerian children in harnessing their potential and fulfilling their dreams.
