A coalition of non-governmental organisations, Child Protection Network Nigeria (CPN), expressed dismay over the “troubling” level of implementation and enforcement of the provisions of the Child Rights Act in federal and state laws.
National Coordinator of CPN, Mr. Olakunle Sanni, said findings were “not impressive as it should be”.
Spoking at a media briefing on the State of the Nigeria Child, in Abuja, over the weekend, Sanni said, “While we are happy with the successes the CRA and its domestication has brought, we are troubled that after 22 years, the level of implementation and enforcement of the provisions in the federal and state laws, respectively, are not as impressive as it should be.”
