NBA Advises Gombe Assembly On Child Rights Act
The Gombe State chapter of the NBA, has advised the state’s House of Assembly to enact the Child Rights Act, considering diversity, cultural and religious backgrounds of the state.
Chairman of the Association, Mr. Luka Haruna, gave the advice in an interview with newsmen in Gombe Tuesday.
He said it was the responsibility of the legislature to ensure that various laws for the good governance of the state were enacted.
“I advise them they should currently look into this particular law because it affects the teeming youths and the younger generation who will come to be the leaders of this country subsequently.
“In enacting the law for Gombe State, I think the House of Assembly should consider the diversity, cultural background, moral background and religious background of this particular entity and fashion a law to design the purpose for the people here.’’
According to him, enacting the law will protect the interests of the children; they will have quality education, health care and moral upbringing in the state.
He also advised the legislature to take a cue from states that had already enacted the law and added that its acceptance was assured in Gombe State.
“The acceptability of the law is gradual process; once we have the law in place, then its applicability and its acceptance will come to stay gradually.
“But at the moment so many parents think it’s giving right to children to misbehave anyhow; while on the other hand without the law, the right of the children are being constantly and frequently abused which negates their own fundamental right here.
“So acceptance is a different thing while having the law is another ball game.’’
Haruna also called on the people of the state to look into the issue critically and look at the condition of the children in the state, adding that if the state assembly refused to act, the bar would certainly take the initiative to ensure that the law came into being.
