As Nigeria marks this year’s Children’s Day celebration, Aare Ganiyu Ayobami Olaoluwa Asejere has extended warm felicitations to children across the country, especially those in Osun State.

In a goodwill message released to commemorate the occasion, Aare Asejere described children as the cornerstone of the nation’s future, emphasizing the need to nurture them through quality education and practical skill acquisition.

He commended the resilience and brilliance of Nigerian children despite the many challenges they face, reiterating his unwavering commitment to advocating policies that safeguard their welfare, education, and all-round development.

“Today, we celebrate the hope and promise that lies in every Nigerian child. It is not enough to wish them well; we must act. I urge all parents, guardians, and stakeholders to invest meaningfully in both the academic and vocational growth of our children,” he said.
