THE Lagos State Government, under the aegis of its Domestic and Sexual Violence Agency, celebrated Children's Day with the launch of the “My Passport of Rights" booklet for school children in the State.
The Executive Secretary, Mrs Titilola Vivour-Adeniyi, unveiled the child-friendly booklet, which aims to raise awareness about the prevalence of child abuse and provide useful information and resources for survivors.
The launch, which took place at the Lagos City Model College in Sabo Yaba, brought together over 300 students from various schools. This innovative booklet further enhances children's understanding of their rights in the State.
"It is a must-read for anyone who cares about the welfare of children and wants to make a difference in their lives. We expect it to inspire action," said Vivour-Adeniyi.
She concluded by encouraging children to seize the opportunity to get a free copy, as it is not up for sale, pay close attention to the details the booklet provides, and wished them all a happy Children's Day celebration in advance.
Hassan Abiodun, the Principal of the Lagos City College, and Taiwo Salako, District Counselor for Education District IV, commended the State Government for the initiative and stated that it is a valuable resource tool to equip children with knowledge about their rights.
