"I heartily greet and felicitate
with all Nigerian children on the occasion of this year’s Children’s Day
celebration. I seize the opportunity of this year's celebration which
comes just two days before the first anniversary of the present
Administration,
The good health and well-being
of Nigerian children remain a top priority on our agenda for national
development and we have demonstrated our strong commitment in this
regard with the allocation of N12.6 billion in the 2016 budget for
vaccines and programmes to prevent childhood killer diseases such as
polio, measles and yellow fever.
Other measures in the 2016
budget, such as the school feeding programme for children at a cost of
N93.1 billion, will ensure that more children go to school and enjoy the
fun of learning and growing together with their peers.
Despite
the current economic and funding challenges facing our dear nation, my
administration will continue to do all within its powers to achieve
better living conditions and greater access to quality healthcare and
education for all our youth. It is a thing of joy that on this year's
Children's Day, we can also celebrate the safe return of one of the
Chibok girls, Amina Ali Nkeki and many other abducted women and children
who have been freed from the clutches of Boko Haram by our gallant
troops.I assure all Nigerians and friends of the country, once again, that my administration will not rest on its oars until the ungodly terrorist sect is totally eliminated from our country.
As peace gradually returns to the insurgency-rava
We will also sustain and strengthen ongoing actions to protect children more effectively from violence, child-labour, child-trafficki
In return, I urge you all to imbibe and exhibit in greater measure, the virtues of hard work, diligence, discipline, honesty, prudence, selflessness and patriotism which are essential for the actualisation of our vision of a truly great nation.
The world now looks up to our dear nation, Nigeria as an exemplary model of democratic ideals after the smooth transition that brought our Administration to power.
You, our children and youth have a very significant role to play in ensuring that our democratic institutions of governance are continuously nurtured, improved and strengthened to underpin national development and prosperity.
Remain assured that under my leadership, the Federal Government will continue to do its best to prepare and equip you to show the world that with its brilliant, resourceful and resilient people, Nigeria is a country of incredible potential and opportunity.
I wish you all a Happy Children’s Day celebration.
Muhammadu Buhari
President
Federal Republic of Nigeria

Happy
children day to me and all other children. How shameful it is for
almost a year old administration to continue making promises as if we're
preparing for election, Ese Oruru was kidnapped, forcefully reverted to
Islam and messed up, and now a mother, what drastic step did the
government take against and how many culpable people were punished for
this crime? and yet more promises, may God deliver us.
