Implementing Child Rights Act, Fulfilling National Promise - Toyin Saraki

Date: 2015-06-04

Wife of former Kwara State Governor and founder of Well Being Foundation (WBFA), Mrs. Toyin Saraki has beckoned on the new administration not to slack in implementing the Child Rights Act as promised by the president’s wife, Mrs. Aisha Buhari on this year’s Children’s day celebration.

According to her, implementing this act is synonymous to Nigeria fulfilling her promise as a nation.

Her words; “WBFA welcomes Her Excellency Mrs. Aisha Muhammadu Buhari’s clarion call for the domestication and implementation of the Child Rights Act throughout the nation’s states.

“The fulfillment of Nigeria’s promise as a nation will be measured in the fulfillment of our promise to our children and their rights as citizens.”

As ‘Save The Children Nigeria’s Newborn’ ambassador, Mrs. Toyin Saraki declares commitment in ensuring the rights of newborns in the most vulnerable first 1000 days of childhood lives. As Global Goodwill Ambassador for the International Confederation of Midwives (ICM), she also believes that midwives as skilled healthcare professionals, can help fulfill the nation’s promise to its children on their right to health, by nurturing the children not to only survive at birth but also thrive well in adulthood.

Advocating for adolescent girls including the yet to return Chibok girls, she said it is paramount to protect girls like never before. She prayed for God’s intervention in their rescue alongside other displaced persons and victims of Boko Haram insurgency.

“As we have witnessed with the kidnapping of over 200 girls from Chibok, it is now more important than ever to protect the right of adolescent girls to a safe education.

“Our prayers are with the families of the Chibok girls, and children in Internally Displaced Persons camps in northern Nigeria, and our externally displaced refugees, who live in uncertainty about their future, and the threat to their rights at the hands of Boko Haram’s violence.”
