Lack of Implementation of Child Rights Laws: Nigeria Legal Perspective
Author : Bulisani Ncube and Adeoye BA
Abstract :
This study must help with some fundamental issues affecting Nigeria children. The major goal of this essay is to assist our Nigeria policymakers in establishing stringent policies and laws in accordance with international law to advance the fundamental rights of Nigeria children. Children's importance and value are also considered in this study because they are Nigeria's future. This study aims to shed light on those child rights that remain obscured due to institutional dysfunction or a lack of our policies. The international convention does not have to act as a rescuer when it comes to children's rights. In the recent decades, basic rights like education and social security that contribute to productive outcomes and enlightening kid rights have still not been fully realised. Despite the fact that the need for child rights is widely acknowledged, it is not adequately addressed in political and social platforms. The study's findings indicate that Nigeria is a failing state when it comes to safeguarding children's rights, and there is no suitable institution in place to deal with the problems regarding it.
