I join all distinguished Nigerians, School Principals, teachers,Students and pupils to celebrate our children on this august event of children’s day celebration.

Dear Parents, it would be worthy to note that this day is a special occasion marked out to specially celebrate and appreciate our children. Also, to imbibe and inculcate good morals, values, disciplines,cleanliness and above all sense of order into our children whom we all know are the future leaders of tomorrow.

This day been 27th of May 2023 has been specially mapped out to celebrate the good children all over the nation, hence, there is no duty more important than ensuring that the rights,welfare and the safety of our dear children are respected and protected.

Our Children have the inalienable rights to life, right to healthy living, right for proper care by parents and families, right to good education and right to special health care.

Oftentimes these children fall prey of abuse which includes physical and emotional abuse of a child that includes child neglect, child’s sexual abuse, child trafficking and every other ill attitudes meted on a child should be looked into by the different child Welfare’s agencies to help protect the interest and the safety of every child.

Therefore, I encourage all the parents to always evaluate the parents-child relationship since the family is regarded as the first and the core agent of socialization of a child, and to make sure that every child does not suffer from any form of parental negligence as this would have an adverse effects on them both in mental and emotional stability as a child.

Nevertheless, I implore every parents and guardians, school principals as well as teachers to put all hands on deck to stand up for our children, to nurture, inculcate, impact, build and develop our child in the right and acceptable values and norms of our land in order to produce responsible and productive citizens and leaders of tomorrow, because the development of a country lies in the hands of a child and the foundation of the required knowledge, skills and attitudes are laid this impressionable period.

On behalf of the entire Ibadan North East Local Government Council, I conclude by conveying my warmest wishes on this children day occasion to all the children. Let us celebrate with joy and enjoy the gift of childhood.

HAPPY CHILDREN’S DAY TO YOU ALL.
