Mrs. Monica Ugwuanyi, Enugu State First Lady |
According to
the first lady, she will work with the State Ministry of Gender Affairs to fast
track the domestication of the said law to alleviate problems of children in
the state.
This new development
is contained in a speech she made when she received the young African Stars of
Nigeria led by their National President, Mr.
George Uru Nwoke, in her office. Mrs. Ugwuanyi made the African Stars
believe that her office would continue to deal with the issue of the Child
Rights act until it is actualized in the state.
She extolled
the group for their support and promotion of the rights of children in Nigeria
and their other efforts to make children better future leaders and also urged
them not to relent in that direction.
Mr.
Uru Nwoke, earlier in his address, revealed that the organization won an
award from the United Nations for its fight against maltreatment of children
and child right act in the country, noting that the organization was in Government
House to thank Mrs. Ugwuanyi and her husband for their efforts towards
domestication of child rights law in the state.
