Children’s Day : Educate your child, Rep Obasa tells Nigerian Parents

The lawmaker representing Ojo Federal Constituency in the lower legislative

chamber, Hon. Tajudeen Obasa has urged every Nigerian Parent to do the needful

and use all available strength in educating their children/wards.

The Children's Day is recognized on various days in different places around the

world, in celebration of every child. It was first proclaimed by the

World Conference

for the Well-being of Children in 1925 and then established

universally in 1954 to

protect children working long hours in dangerous circumstances and allow all

children access to an education.

In a statement released by his media aide, Mr Opeyemi Ahmed, the lawmaker

described education as the only means to cure ignorance, tackle social vices and

build an independent individual in the future.

"It is well stated in the holy books " Educate your child so that he

or she will give

you rest" The current trend of security challenges facing the nation can only be

tackled with proper education. Many commit crime without knowing the negative

effects of such to the society"

"For a nation to be great, the standard of education must be high both formally

and informally. For Nigeria, all hands must be on deck to transform

the educational

sector"
