2025 Children’s Day: NNPP Chieftain, Ajadi, Urges Govt To Protect Nigerian Children As Future Leaders
As the children celebrate their day today; Tuesday May 27, 2025 in Nigeria, a Chieftain of the New Nigeria Peoples Party, (NNPP) in the South West, Ambassador Olufemi Ajadi Oguntoyinbo has felicitated with the Nigerian children, while calling on the government to be committed to nurturing and protecting them as the country’s future leaders.
Children’s Day is marked on May 27 in Nigeria every year. It’s an international holiday that was first observed in the country in 1964. The date it is celebrated varies from one country to another.
The theme of this year’s Children’s Day is “Stand Up, Speak Up: Building a Bullying-Free Generation.”
Ajadi, in a statement on the celebration of the children on Tuesday, copies of which were made available to newsmen, described the children as the custodians of tomorrow’s promise, innovation, and leadership.
He urged the government to prioritise commitment to safeguard every Nigerian child, protect his or her rights, and nurture his or her dreams.
Ajadi advocated a culture where every child feels safe, respected, and heard, both in physical spaces and in the digital communities.
He said that in tune with the theme of this year’s celebration, Nigerian children should be given voice to speak out, saying that violence, bullying, and neglect of children is not in tune with modern days.
He urged the government to ensure that Nigerian children are given qualitative education to prepare them for future roles in the country.
He called on Nigeria to learn from what is happening in Senegal, where 45 years old Bassirou Diomaye Faye is the current President and is providing quality governance.
“Our youths, if well prepared, can do same and even more if they are given chances to participate in governance at young ages. I rejoice with our children as they celebrate their day. We cherish you as the custodians of our future.
“I implore governments at all levels to show commitment to safeguarding every Nigerian child, protect his or her rights, and nurture his or her dreams.
“To parents, teachers and other guidance of children, the era of bullying is gone. Give children moral and academic education and help them in preparing for the future”.
