Children’s Day: Tinubu Declares War On Child Bullying, Launches ‘See Something, Say Something’ Campaign

Published

on

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has issued a clarion call to all Nigerians to take an active stand against child bullying and abuse, as he unveiled a new nationwide campaign titled “See Something, Say Something, Do Something” during his 2025 Children’s Day address on Tuesday.

Speaking passionately to mark the annual National Children’s Day, the President described Nigerian children as “the pride and future of our great nation,” while stressing that the country has a constitutional, moral, and intergenerational duty to protect every child.

“Violence, bullying, and neglect have no place in the Nigeria of today,” Tinubu declared. “A child who learns in fear cannot learn well. A child who grows in fear cannot grow right.”

This year’s theme, “Stand Up, Speak Up: Building a Bullying-Free Generation,” was at the heart of the President’s address, with fresh data showing that an estimated 65% of Nigerian schoolchildren have faced some form of physical, psychological, or social aggression.

To combat this, the President outlined an ambitious suite of initiatives under his Renewed Hope Agenda, including:

A comprehensive review of the Child Rights Act (2003) and the Violence Against Persons (Prohibition) Act (2015) to strengthen enforcement, Full rollout of the National Plan of Action on Ending Violence Against Children (2024–2030), Expansion of the Child Protection Information Management System (CPIMS) to respond to abuse cases in real-time, and Embedding child safeguarding and emotional learning into teacher training programmes.

Tinubu also commended the 36 states that have domesticated the Child Rights Act, calling for stronger community collaboration to back existing laws with meaningful action.

“Our children’s safety cannot be solely anchored on government policies but on community vigilance,” he said.

“I am launching a nationwide ‘See Something, Say Something, Do Something’ campaign today, encouraging every Nigerian to become a child protection champion.”

The President emphasized that child protection is not a government task alone but a shared responsibility of parents, teachers, faith leaders, and communities.

He called for greater investment in child welfare, urging all states to prioritise child rights in their policies and budgets.

Hey there! I know this is kinda off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this site? I’m getting fed up of WordPress because I’ve had issues with hackers and I’m looking at options for another platform. I would be great if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.
