“And in the hospitals, no more rejection of emergency cases.

“These are some of the major issues we are addressing. Any hospital that does that, I will call on all Nigerians, I am proud of Nigerians, the way you are using social media to attack issues.

“This is the time for action; let all of us buckle down because if any emergency case is rejected, I am calling on all Nigerians.

” This fight is not only for one person; it is for all of us.”

Investigations reveal that the Child Rights Law (Child Rights Act) defines a child as anyone under 18. This legislation safeguards children’s right to life, survival, development, education, healthcare, and protection from abuse, exploitation, and discrimination. Child Rights Act (CRA), enacted in 2003, protects the rights and well-being of Nigerian children.
