The Lagos State Government on Monday said processes are in place for the review of the state’s Child Rights Law, 2015.

The Director, Directorate for Citizens Rights, Mrs. Oluwatoyin Odusanya, stated this at the essay and debate competition organised for the pupils of the state to celebrate the Human Rights Day 2020 with the theme ‘Recover better, stand up for human rights’.

Speaking on the sideline of the programme, Odusanya said the review was necessary to fill the gaps in the law to ensure that the rights of the children in the state are protected.

She said, “It’s important to catch the children young and let them know what human rights is all about so as they grow up, they won’t infringe on other people’s rights and ensure that their rights are protected.

“this year’s theme was derived from the pandemic; it is to encourage people to recover better emotionally and psychologically from this pandemic and the human right abuse pandemic, to ensure they’re healed through the process of knowing their right and places that are available that would assist them in enforcing their right.

“We’re sensitizing children and their parents on child abuse, early marriage, and Lagos State is also in the process of reviewing the child rights law to ensure that the gaps that are within the child rights law can be filled and the rights of the children can be also protected.”

The Solicitor General/Permanent Secretary, Ms Titilayo Shitta-Bey also emphasised on the need for children to know their rights early in life.

“Human Rights Day is observed globally and the importance of it is to educate people as to the rights they have enshrined in the constitution,” she said.

“As to the children, we have legislation, the Child Rights Law and they need to know about their rights because at the end of the day if you educate your Child early enough, they will grow up knowing their rights and how to protect those rights they have.”

The Guest of Honour, Chief Magistrate Kikelomo Ayeye, in her keynote address titled ‘The role of the judiciary in safeguarding the rights of a child’, noted that the judiciary had the duty of protecting the rights of the children due to their vulnerability.

While urging the state government to increase the budget allocated to the ministry and agencies working for children, Ayeye noted that the failure to attend to the needs of the children would be disastrous for the nation.

However, the pupils of the Aje Comprehensive School won the junior category of the debate topic, ‘Right to education, is it the responsibility of the government of the parent while the pupils of the Babs Fafunwa Millenium Secondary School won the senior category of the debate topic, ‘Wearing of facemask, is it a human rights issue or not.’

The pupils of the Ayedere Ajibola Senior High School won the drama category of the competition while the pupils of the Doregos Private Academy won the first runner-up.
