On April 14, 2015, the word was agog with a
variety of events (solidarity rallies, seminars, media campaigns etc) to commemorate the first
anniversary of the abduction of the Chibok school girls.
CEE-HOPE similarly held a seminar and a rally for
our teenagers and children in Makoko, Lagos' biggest slum.
The one-day event attracted more several children
and teenagers mainly from across the various Makoko sub-communities where
CEE-HOPE works with vulnerable girls and children. It also had in attendants
girls from the Sagbokoji community in nearby Eti-Osa Local Government Area
where CEE-HOPE also started a new ‘Triple G’ Girl Empowerment club.
At hand to inspire the children were youth leaders,
community leaders, CEE-HOPE mentors and others. There were also music
performance on the theme of the Chibok girls and the need to inspire hope for
the African child.
OUR DEMAND:
*CEE-HOPE remains resolute and unequivocal in her demand, and in unison with the rest of the world, we still reinstate the global stand: #BRINGBACKOURGIRLS Now and Alive.
*CEE-HOPE remains resolute and unequivocal in her demand, and in unison with the rest of the world, we still reinstate the global stand: #BRINGBACKOURGIRLS Now and Alive.
*We ask political leaders, security agencies
in Nigeria and indeed across the world to work assiduously
towards the safe return of the #ChibokGirls.
*We suggest that their unconditional and safe return should be the priority of the incoming Nigerian government.
*We suggest that their unconditional and safe return should be the priority of the incoming Nigerian government.
We urge the government, present and incoming to henceforth make the safeguarding of defenceless Nigerian children in educational institutions and indeed everywhere a major policy priority.
Education should never be a crime. Girls, children
and indeed everyone everywhere is entitled, by international laws, to study in
environments that are safe from threats, harassment or harm and the Chibok
girls and indeed, children in Nigeria should never be an exception.
