The federal government Wednesday appealed to states, which had either yet to domesticate or start the implementation of the Child Rights Act enacted since 2003, to do so immediately in the interest of the innocent Nigerian children.
The President of the Pediatrician Association of Nigeria , Dr. Edward Alikor, had in January this year, said Kebbi, Kano, Katsina, Sokoto, Jigawa, Zamfara, Bauchi, Yobe, Gombe, Borno and Adamawa States had yet to domesticate the law. He said: “A lot of our people have lost their cultural values and today, our youths in Nigeria have embraced the strange culture of other people across the globe and this is not in our interest.
“This is because constant child abuse could lead to criminality and other vices including terrorism and banditry. We are appealing to parents and teachers to give proper guidance to the youths.” “The video music producers and artistes should be careful with what they are sending out.
