Group Sensitises Pupils On Adolescents’ Rights

A Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO), Reaching and Empowering Adolescents to Make Choice for their Health in Nigeria (REACH), last Saturday sensitised a group of pupils in Gusau on the rights of adolescents.
REACH, a project of Save the Children International (SCI), carried out the sensitisation programme at Ma’ahad Zubairu Binil Awwami Litta’alimil Qur’an Waddirasatil Islamiyya in Gusau.
The sensitisation was part of the NGO’s activities to commemorate the 2020 International Universal Day for Children.
Speaking, the Advocacy and Communication Officer in charge of the project, Hajia Zainab Usman said the event was to enlighten children on how to prepare for their future through studying, honesty and hard work.
She said that there was need for children to learn good morals and be dutiful to their parents and guardians for them to grow and become responsible adults.
“You should know that as children, it is your duty to put in more efforts in your studies to be able to further your education and achieve your future ambitions in life,” she advised.
Usman said children should always report abnormal acts or words from adults or peers to their parents or guardians to avoid being involved in wrong things that could destroy their future.
