Our children are our future -----Mrs Buhari
(Nigeria) Hajiya Aisha Buhari, the wife of Nigeria's
president-elect, has assured the people of Nigeria of the incoming government's
commitment to the development of children in every geopolitical zone of the
country.
In a statement in Abuja on Tuesday to mark the International
Children's Day on May 27, Mrs. Buhari said that education was going to be one
of the main focuses of the incoming All Progressives Congress, APC government.
"Our children are our future," she said.
"Education of our children is the best way to secure the future of our
country."
Mrs Buhari also called for the implementation of the
Child Rights Act which has been passed by the National Assembly, but which is
yet to be adopted by all the states of Nigeria.
"Even if it means adapting the act to suit their
specific needs. The Child Rights Act must be adopted in
every single state of our country."
The incoming First Lady also assured Nigerians that,
despite the need to focus on eradicating Boko Haram and restoring normalcy to
life in the north east states of Nigeria, especially regarding encouraging
children to return to school and making schools safe for all children, no child
in any other part of Nigeria will be left out of the Buhari government's plan
for children.
"No child in Nigeria will be left out of my
husband's plan for Nigeria," she said. "Every child in every
geopolitical zone of the country will be taken care of by the APC Federal Government."
