These Children Are The Lights Unto Our Nation's Future* ... PDP Kogi
*
Ahead of the commemoration of this year's children day in Kogi state, the PDP in Kogi state, has described the Children as light unto the nation's future.
In a statement signed by the party's Director of Media and Communication, Comrade Dayo Onibiyo, the party, sent it's heart warming greetings to children, teachers who takes care of them and particularly the parents and guardians for striving to keep the children in schools, despite hard times under General Buhari's administration, and that of Governor Bello's Government in Kogi state, it enjoined the parents to redouble their effort on getting thier kids morally and spiritually trained, as that will help brighten the future of our nation which is currently going through the eye of the needle under APC and with no sign of light at the end of the tunnel.
It also advised parents and guardians to start introducing their children to skill acquisition programmes in combination with their formal education drive, so as to help broaden their horizon and prepare them for the difficult challenges in the labour market. This if done will drive the children towards becoming employers of labour instead of seeking employment later in life, thereby boosting the nation's economy through creating jobs and combating the daily rising hydra headed employment crisis in the country.
The PDP in Kogi state used the opportunity to call for mass enrolment of more girl child in schools across the state and kicked against paedophilia, which it regrets is still on the increase and should be combated without party lines, *we condemn in totality and in clear terms, the act of rape and paedophilia against the girl child and passionately call on all Nigerians and residents to selflessly join in the campaign against such barbaric, low and satanic act* the statement concludes.
