CHILDREN DAY SPEECH
This day is an important day in the life of every child as we dedicate a special time to celebrate them and also affords parents and guardians the opportunity to thank Almighty God for making these children as a defence just as the Bible says, and also reminds the elders about their responsibilities towards Children.
I know many times in a year we might have celebrated our children in other ways, but we cannot take away the Joy, fulfilment and sense of belonging that comes along with this day to every Child out there, which made today unique to them all.
The child is like a tender and lovely bud who has just started to bloom.
I am very happy to get an opportunity to speak a few words to celebrate every child out there, and am also very elated to join others in celebrating my darling daughter for all of her wonderful performances in school especially with her recent receipt of an award of excellence on this great day in her school.
It is my prayer this day that the good Lord will continue to protect, guide and direct every child out there all the time and may they all continue to grow in wisdom, knowledge and understanding in Jesus name. Amen.
Everyone of us at CDHR will continue to speak up in defence and promotion of Child Rights law in Nigeria , as we also look forward to our government in doing more for every child out there with a relentless support to education policies and provisions of scholarships as we should all know that the children of today will make the Nigeria of tomorrow. The way we bring them up will determine the future of the country.
Once again, HAPPY CHILDREN’S DAY to all our children. COMR DR KEHINDE PRINCE TAIGA , AG, NATIONAL PRESIDENT, CDHR NIGERIA
