The Wife of the President, Mrs Aisha Buhari, has called on state governors to establish children’s parliament with a view to build the capacity of the youths in leadership position.

She made the call on Monday in Abuja at the inauguration of the 4th Assembly of FCT Children Parliament.

Buhari, who was represented at the occasion by Mrs Alayingi Sylva, wife of the former governor of Bayelsa, Timipre Sylva, stressed the need to establish children’s parliament in the 36 states.

She said that the parliament would provide a platform for the children to participate in national development and prepare them as future leaders.

She added that it would give a voice to the youths and inculcate in children the value of dialogue and collective participation that would equip them for leadership roles.

She congratulated the executive members of FCT children’s parliament for their victory at the April elections in which more than 90 schools in the six area council participated.

“This is a clear demonstration that our children have embraced the path to democracy which inevitably has been a course for governance.

“No doubt, your political consciousness will be raised and eventually offer you the opportunity of being valued members of our society and future leaders of this great country.

“I appeal to you to respect the rule and process of operating children’s parliament through which you can realise your dream,” she said.

Speaking earlier, the Permanent Secretary, FCT administration, Mr John Chukwu, said the parliament was aimed at providing the children with a forum to participate in affairs affecting their country.

Represented by Mallam Salisu Kallamu, the Director, Administration and Finance in the FCT, Chukwu described the children’s parliament as training ground for prospective political leaders.

He said that the parliament came into existence in Nigeria with the passage of the Child Rights Act 2003, which was a product of United Nations Convention on the Rights of the child.

In his remarks Mr Oralgrandeur Nwaka, Speaker, FCT Children’s Parliament, pledged to discharge his duties in accordance with the rules of law

STILL WATCHING

This call is needless!

Nigerian children all have their schools where they can learn leadership skills and mentality and not needless children parliament where the children of the common men won't have the chance to be members.

Just to make sure you disagree with Aisha, you could not even support a platform that will help thousands of Children across the country in participating practical leadership engagements.

to start with, must I always agree with someone?

The Children parliament in the 36 states to discuss issues relating to and affecting Nigerian children, what will be the criteria to bring the parliamentarians together, election throughout the states or appointment where nepotism and cronyism are the norm in the Nation?

Definitely, election isn't possible but selection. What issue do u expect to be discussed by children that have been exorcized from their immediate environment by vertical bricks at home, either in boarding school or schooling abroad and probably day pupils with pupil of similar exposure on foreign programs by media and naive of what the street is saying?

Instead of children parliament in each of the 36states, why can't it be introduced in the various primary and secondary schools as voluntary club if one of the aims is to learn the act of leadership?

When it comes to giving the Children a vibrant platform to have their voice and inculcate leadership skills, you can continue looking at it as a half empty cup. But the rest of us will keep seeing it as a half filled efforts that needs more work and fine-tuning to perfection.

The choice is yours.
