Children\u2019s Assembly and Miss Etukudo Abasi, also said that positive behaviours and decision-making should be taught in families and schools.<br \/>The children said that the call became necessary because of some identified\u00a0 challenges\u00a0 affecting them\u00a0 which included child labour, child marriage, out-of-school children, insecurity, healthcare, mental health and child abuse.<br \/>Others are gender inequality, limited\u00a0 access to education, school dropouts and discrimination .<br \/>They tasked the government on provision of medical supplies and compensation for doctors to address health challenges of children.<br \/>They also called for a child-friendly justice system and an increase in budgetary allocation for children\u2019s healthcare.<br \/>They children called for stronger laws against children\u00a0 sexual abuse while rehabilitation should be provided for affected ones.<br \/>They urged the government and <a href=\"https:\/\/nnn.ng\/tag\/ngo\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" title=\"NGO\">NGO<\/a>\u2019s to campaign against all forms of abuse on children to help prevent molestation.<br \/>The children said that report centres should be effective so \u00a0children could talk about abuse that affected them and \u00a0there should be intervention for children who were \u00a0victims of abuse, neglect and exploitation.<br \/>They said this would strengthen child protection systems, including children\u2019s homes where they could receive care.<br \/>\u201cThere should be legislation and implementation of the <a href=\"https:\/\/nnn.ng\/tag\/child-rights-act-cra\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" title=\"Child Rights Act (CRA)\">Child Rights Act (CRA)<\/a> and free education for all.<br \/>\u201cAwareness on the consequences of early marriage which alters the course of a girl\u2019s life and her potential should be raised.<br \/>\u201cParents should be encouraged to take their children to school and false myths on western education should be shunned.<br \/>\u201cLeaders should create an enabling environment for education and government should invest more in education for out-of-school children.\u2019\u2019<br \/>The children said that quality of education should be improved while parents needed to improve knowledge and commitment to contribute to enrolling their children in school at the right age and time.<br \/>They said that security agents should be equipped with tools to protect children from attack and stronger security strategies should be carried out in affected areas.<br \/>They added that \u00a0to help in preventing attacks on schools, cattle ranching policy should be implemented to prevent cattle-herder crises and more security personnel should be deployed to affected areas.<br \/>The children said that there was need\u00a0 to raise\u00a0 awareness in rural areas \u00a0and religious leaders about educating girls with the \u00a0provision of \u00a0enough schools for girls to attend .<br \/>They called for free education and adequate teaching personnel to be provided as well.<br \/>They also said that an agency should be directed to ensure attendance of children in schools during school hours while there should be provision of disability care canters and \u00a0discrimination should be discouraged.<br \/>They appealed to the <a

Local Government Areas (<a href=\"https:\/\/nnn.ng\/tag\/lga\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" title=\"LGA\">LGA<\/a>s) to renew their commitments to protect, respect and fulfil the rights of the child as articulated in the Child Rights Act (2003).<br \/>\u201cHaving the opportunity to listen to these children over the last two days is a reason, more than enough, to celebrate children.<br \/>\u201d If the future is at hand, therefore, we are given historical opportunity and responsibility to shape and paint the futures as bright as we want it to be.<br \/>The smart thing to do to paint the future is to invest in children. \u2018\u2019<br \/>Mamo called \u00a0upon the states yet to pass the Child Protection Bill to prioritise the adoption and enforcement of the Child Rights Act
