The Canadian Ambassador to Nigeria, Christopher Thornley, has called for the passage of the Child Rights Act by states yet to implement the law.
Mr Thornley made the call on Tuesday at a meeting organised by the Ministry of Women Affairs for stakeholders whose roles are described as significant to the passage of the act.
According to him, the passage of the law would help to protect the Nigerian Child against violence and the violation of their rights.
Others participants at the event also noted that entrenching the rights of the child would positively impact on the war against terrorism in the country.
