Increase in child labour in Nigeria raises concern
The Federal Government has raised the alarm over the growing trend of child labour in the country.
Recalled that the government had arelier raised the concern during the celebration of the 2023 World Day Against Child Labour (WDACL) when it dropped a staggering figure of 43 percent as the number of Nigerian children that are engaged in child labour.
The revelation has since become a talking point in certain quarters, with some people equating the scourge to modern day slavery.
The development also calls to mind the humanitarian work of a British crusader, William Wilberforce, who championed the campaign against slave trade in the early 19th Century.
