Over one thousand children will be participating in the 2019
Alaka Children's Day programme.
Scheduled for May 27, 2019 at Alaka Community Recreation
Centre, Surulere, this year's programme has been designed as a series of
plenary and parallel sessions focusing on children's welfare, with speakers
chosen to lead discussions on definite action and steps to be taken by parents
to complement government effort in child development.
In a statement in Lagos, the organisers said the event would
promote peace, respect and environmental concern.
"It will also bring awareness to children around the
globe that have succumbed to violence in form of abuse, exploitation and discrimination”
the statement signed by Henry Ovie Ebireri, Nasir Olayinka and Peter Odukoya said.
"There will be talk on drug abuse, career development,
examination malpractice and child labour. There will also be singing, dancing,
debating, quiz, poetry, drama and drawing competition” the statement added.
