Olusoji, while addressing a workshop on Emergency Training and Flood Preparedness, hinted that 10 other states in Nigeria are still considering the Child Rights Act. According to him, diverse reasons ranging from cultural differences, poverty, educational background, religious beliefs, among others, are largely behind the non- implementation of Child’s Right Act in the country. While explaining the scenario behind the Act, Olusoji said, it’s overall aim was to simply ensure that every child gets the minimum parental care. “Nobody is stopping anybody from having as many children as he or she wishes. However, the bottom line of the Child Rights Act simply holds that any child should and ought to have the basic and needed parental care which includes feeding, shelter, clothing, training, among others” Talking on the effect of insurgency in the North East, Olusoji noted that the region would take nothing less than 15 or more years to regain normalcy. “The once beautiful schools, hospitals, worship places, houses, and business premises in the north east are now devastated because of insurgency. However, the good story is that, with collective support of all Nigerians, the good old days can be restored in that region. “We should equally bear it in mind that the government alone cannot do everything for it’s citizenry” Olusuji further assured that, if Indonesia with 99 per cent Muslims, and over 336 million people can domesticate Child Rights Act, then there is hope for Nigeria. On his part, Dr Nehemiah Danjuma said health services is cardinal in any disaster related incidents, added that the minimum health standard required in any disaster- related cases should include water, toiletery, food, shelter and medical attention.]]>
