The Vice President, Senator @KashimSM, has outlined the programmes and initiatives currently being executed by the administration of President @officialABAT to restore and strengthen the future of the Nigerian child.
According to him, a generation of children unsure of their place in a changing world is one of the worst tragedies to befall any nation, particularly Nigeria, with its youthful population, where the greatest anxiety is that the nation should never fail or falter in building a society that equips every child with opportunities worthy of their talent.
Senator @KashimSM stated this on Thursday in Abuja when he received a delegation from the United Nations Children’s Fund (@UNICEF), led by its Executive Director, Ms. Catherine Russell (@unicefchief), on a courtesy visit to the Presidential Villa.
He said though the administration has “inherited profound economic and social pressures that demand partnership with trusted global development institutions such as UNICEF,” the Fund has stood firm “beside Nigeria as a dependable ally, bringing expertise, compassion, and practical support to the sectors that define the future” of Nigerian children.
“I am particularly excited about today’s engagement because we have assembled a broad portfolio of interventions to restore and strengthen the place of the Nigerian child,” the Vice President declared.
The VP observed that the world has transformed into a global village, where the “hopes and anxieties of children travel faster than borders,” pointing out that “whatever happens to a child in Abuja can influence a child in London, just as events elsewhere shape the imagination and wellbeing of our own children.”
