What will it take to give every child in the North East a stronger start?

One of the important moments from Day 3 of the North West ECD Zonal Engagement in Kaduna was the presence of His Highness, the Emir of Zazzau.

Government policies can create the direction, but community leadership helps bring the message home

Why ECD, and why now?

At the North Central ECD Zonal Engagement, Commissioners and other leaders shared why Nigeria must prioritise children’s health, nutrition, protection, care and early learning.

Every Nigerian child. Ready by five.

In all honesty, the reason why ECD should be as much your business as it is ours, is that it is simply impossible to have a nation thrive without a proper investment in their human capital. And where best to start than the very beginning?

So which one surprised you?

[ECD NIGERIA @ECD_NIGERIA]

ECD! ECD! ECD!

What even counts as ECD?

If a child is fed well, and nothing more, does that guarantee all aspects of early childhood development is fulfilled?

The answer is no, and you can find out why in these slides...

The Kaduna ECD Engagement brought together delegations from Jigawa, Kaduna, Kano, Katsina, Kebbi, Sokoto and Zamfara States.

Seven states... the shared goal remained the same.

Every Nigerian child. Ready by five.
