As, according to the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), more than half its population is under the age of 18.
However, almost half of these children, the UN agency said in a 2022 report, live under extreme conditions caused by child abuse, inadequate healthcare, lack of access to education, and so on.
As Children’s Day is being celebrated today, this episode of Nigeria Daily will look at how protected the rights of Nigerian children are and what needs to be done to secure a brighter future for them.
