Today, we come together to celebrate one of our most precious resources – our children. International Children’s Day is an opportunity to honor the youngest members of our society and reaffirm our commitment to ensuring their wellbeing and success. On this day, we celebrate how kids make our lives brighter.
Children represent the hopes, dreams and aspirations we have for the future. With their boundless energy, curiosity and creativity, they have the power to reshape our world in remarkable ways. Therefore, it is our sole duty as parents, guardians, educators and community members, to help our kids grow and develop in the best way possible.
As we celebrate our children, let us remind ourselves of the need to consistently renew our pledge to create a world where every child can thrive. A world with access to quality education, adequate healthcare, safety, love and the opportunity to pursue their passions. For in uplifting our children today, we set the foundation for a better tomorrow.
To the children, we say – you are valued, you are cherished, and you are the authors of our future chapters. Continue to dream big, keep being curious, try new things, and bring that smile and excitement you always have!
We are privileged to be part of your journey.
Happy Children’s Day to all Nigerian children.
