My Dear Nigerian Children,
You are the pride and future of our great nation and I join you to celebrate the 2025 National Children's Day with immense pride and profound joy. On this special day, let me reaffirm our commitment to nurturing and protecting you as Nigeria's future leaders, innovators, and changemakers.
Across every school, community, and home in Nigeria today, you are the most precious part of our national fabric, the heartbeat of our nation's future, and the custodians of tomorrow's promise, innovation, and leadership. I therefore reaffirm today our constitutional, moral, and intergenerational duty and commitment to safeguard every Nigerian child, protect his rights, and nurture his dreams.
This year's theme, "Stand Up, Speak Up: Building a Bullying-Free Generation," could not have been more timely as it speaks directly to the culture we are building. A culture where every child feels safe, respected, and heard, both in physical spaces and digital communities. Just to be clear, violence, bullying, and neglect have no place in the Nigeria of today.
Globally, more than 1 in 3 children experience bullying regularly. In Nigeria, studies estimate that up to 65% of school-age children have experienced some form of physical, psychological, or social aggression. This is unacceptable. A child who learns in fear cannot learn well. A child who grows in fear cannot grow right.
