Children’s Day: Nigerian hunters tell Tinubu’s govt to prioritise youth’s welfare
John Metchie, the deputy commander-general of the Nigerian Hunters and Forest Security Services (NHFSS), has urged President Bola Tinubu’s government to prioritise the welfare of youths as they celebrate Children’s Day.
Mr Metchie made the call in his message to Nigerian children as they join their counterparts across the globe to mark the 2024 Children’s Day Celebration on Monday.
The hunters’ deputy boss also urged parents to spend more time with their children and wards to ensure a better society and secure a good future for them.
Mr Metchie said the celebration is a clarion call for leaders at all levels to prioritise the welfare of children.
On the incessant attacks on schools and children, he urged the federal and state governments to appreciate, embrace and work with officers and men of the NHFSS to bring an end to such threats.
He said, “I, on behalf of my family and the entire team at the NHFSS, extend warm congratulations to Nigerian children on the occasion of the 2024 Children’s Day.”
