The occasion of Children's Day is an auspicious moment to reflect amongst other things on the welfare and circumstances of a very critical demography of our population: Children.
#ChildrensDay

Children are indeed the assurance of the future of our societies and the world at large and the need to be conscious of their welfare and the manner in which they're brought up, have never been more critical.

In order to guarantee a sustainable future for our children, the twin role of the family and the government cannot be overemphasized.

The one, providing the familial care and support critical to the development of a child; and the other, the sociopolitical currency for their development through basic, efficient and affordable education.

Unfortunately the realities of our existence present a negative scorecard of these 2 critical agencies of socialization of the child.The consequences are well-known:decay in the value system of children & young people, as well as an astronomical number of out of school children.

These two ills are totally unacceptable. I therefore take the opportunity of this occasion to call on all parents, guardians and the committee of stakeholders involved in the project of ensuring a better and fairer future for our children...

...to rededicate themselves to this sacred duty which has great impetus for the future of our world.
