CEE-HOPE CALLS FOR SAFETY MEASURES FOR NIGERIAN CHILDREN DURING ELECTIONS

                                    


As the 2015 general elections kick off in Nigeria today (March 28), a group has called for the need for government, relevant agencies and individuals to ensure utmost protection of children.
The Centre for Children’s Health Education, Orientation and Protection (CEE-HOPE) Nigeria, in a press release in Lagos urged politicians, party supporters in all of the parties to put aside, not only their differences, but shun any acts that may lead to the harming of innocent children.


 
‘It is an unsettling reality that an anxious tone has being set for today against the background of politicians’ inciting statements and violent clashes by opposing party supporters in places like Lagos, Rivers and Ekiti,’ said Betty Abah’s CEE-HOPE’s Executive Director. ‘Nobody’s political ambition should lead to the death of any Nigerian. It should not be a ‘do-or-die’ affair. We know that politicians inciting their party thugs to steal the mandate of others, kill other party thugs and destroy properties have sent their own family members into the safe haven of Western countries.’ She said.

The statement also noted that already, this is not the best of times for children in Nigeria with rampant abductions, rape and killings of school children by the Boko Haram group in the North, boys forcefully recruited into their rag tag army, and the fact that several thousands have already being orphaned by the mass killings. It also quoted the United Nations’ Humanitarian Commission for Refugees (UNHCR) as ranking Nigeria among countries with the highest number of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) and refugees with more than one million people displaced by the insurgency and 13, 000 already killed and thousands currently taking refuge in neighbouring countries of Cameroon, Niger and Chad.

‘Nigerian children have suffered enough. This day, security agencies, supporters, parents and people in child care institutions must ensure maximum safety of children especially in electoral hot beds. All must be circumspect and respect the sanctity of life in every part of the country. We all, as adults Nigerians, whether in Benue, Bornu, Jos or Jalingo, Otukpo or Okitipupa, Lagos or Lafia, Awka or Abuja, Uyo or Oyo Town, everywhere in the country, must ensure all safety measures are put in place to make sure no harm comes to any Nigerian child. They must not be caught in the crossfire of adults’ folly manifested in mindless violence. They are our future. We must dutifully preserve that future,’ added Abah.

  5. In most of the early childhood programs and schools, technology will be part of the learning landscape of the future. To make sure this new technology is used effectively, we must assure that teachers are fully trained and supported, and that the programs and internet sites used are developmentally appropriate, non-racist, non-biased against people with disabilities, and respect religious differences. phone tracker
