@BRIDGECONNECTNG Thank you for having me, enjoyed every bit of it. Let's do this some more, some another time.

[Makkiyyah @Lavina_sugar]

@BRIDGECONNECTNG I want youth in kano state to be actively involved as key decisions makers in program, design, implementation, evaluation and policies making in all matters related to the youth. #TimeToActSRHR

[Makkiyyah @Lavina_sugar]

@BRIDGECONNECTNG I also focuses on social media when

1. Announcement of new project

2. Information are tied to a community news

3. I have achieved something new #TimeToActSRHR

[Makkiyyah @Lavina_sugar]

@BRIDGECONNECTNG I influence the media to give me extensive coverage by allowing me to tell my stories myself and in my own words.

I use the media to cover stories that will light fire on social so that the policy maker can get involved 2/4 #TimeToActSRHR

[Makkiyyah @Lavina_sugar]

@BRIDGECONNECTNG 1. I personally inform the people on social media about what really contributes to the policy advocacy.

Use the media outlets to pressure policy makers to change or institute policies that's affect us at our community and country at large. 1/4 #TimeToActSRHR

[Makkiyyah @Lavina_sugar]

@BRIDGECONNECTNG Change the way people on social media look at policy advocacy by making it on how the policy will affect them and why

Massive online campaigns on the demostication of the bill #TimeToActSRHR

[Makkiyyah @Lavina_sugar]

@BRIDGECONNECTNG 1. Be available when needed
2. Be open
3. Be trustworthy and be accurate etc

Also young people need to know what they want and ask within the reason.

Always be pleasant and respectful #TimeToActSRHR

[Makkiyyah @Lavina_sugar]

@BRIDGECONNECTNG I will strongly advice other young people know the importance of establishing contact with atleast one of a policy maker at social media outlet and to maintain these relationships by; 1/4 #TimeToActSRHR

@BRIDGECONNECTNG About the implications of not demosticating the child protection bill 2/2 #TimeToActSRHR

[Makkiyyah @Lavina_sugar]

@BRIDGECONNECTNG As a youth champion I am shaping debates on the child protection bill
2. Advancing a policy as a way to pressure policy makers.
3. Getting the attention of policy makers by holding press conference, press release, paid advertisement 1/2 #TimeToActSRHR

[Makkiyyah @Lavina_sugar]

@BRIDGECONNECTNG Development as a State & nation at large.Indicators will be negatively skewed due to higher child marriages, increased child labor, higher number of out-of-school children, alarming social vices and other issues.More so,the attainment of the SDGs will be a mirage. #TimeToActSRHR

[Makkiyyah @Lavina_sugar]

@BRIDGECONNECTNG children have been thwarted, education may be a far fetched dream for children, girl children (who are more at risk) will be more abused and denied privileges to grow and thrive.
In all, this will definitely tell on our indicators towards growth and 3/4 #TimeToActSRHR

@BRIDGECONNECTNG and group of which can be easily abused.
Before now, certain child right issues have been noted such as sexual abuse/exploitation, physical/emotional abuses and child labor. If it fails, all efforts to promote the dignity and respect for 2/4 #TimeToActSRHR

[Makkiyyah @Lavina_sugar]

@BRIDGECONNECTNG A great tragedy it will be, changing our trajectory pointing us to low economic development, lawlessness, heightened abuse and social vices, and peaking mortality.  If it fails, our system has failed to protect the persons most at risk, vulnerable 1/4 #TimeToActSRHR

[Makkiyyah @Lavina_sugar]

@BRIDGECONNECTNG In global communities, data shows that Northern Nigeria especially Kano State records the one of the highest rate of child marriage, number of out-of-school children and child labor. It is imperative for this bill to be passed if we truly desire to 1/2 #TimeToActSRHR

@BRIDGECONNECTNG 3. The right to dignity
4. Right good health
5. Right to education
6. No child should be expose to use and trafficking of narcotics drugs e.t.c.
7. Prohibition of Sexual exploitation and Prostitution of a child 3/3 #TimeToActSRHR

[Makkiyyah @Lavina_sugar]

@BRIDGECONNECTNG Children better thrive in the community. In a more simpler word the child protection bill is a bill seeking for an Act to protect the rights of a child, Such rights includes
1. Right to survival and development.
2. Right to name
