As we celebrate Children's Day, I join parents and guardians across our country to wish our children the very best.

Children are our future and leaders of tomorrow. They are blessings and unique gifts from God.

As we celebrate, let me reiterate that our children's rights and dignity must be protected. There have been disturbing reports on social media of children subjected to physical harm and abuse by those whom children are entrusted in their care.

As parents and guardians, we must help the government in protecting our children from all forms of physical and domestic abuse, to ensure that offenders are made to face the full wrath of the law.

As the leaders of tomorrow, our children are our future and must be given utmost priority so they grow up to lead our country on the right path of morals and ideals of Nation building.

Happy Children's Day.

Sen. Margery Chuba-Okadigbo,
Board Chairman, NNPCL.
