 Iodegi, the Deputy Country Director of SOS Children's Village, an international non-governmental family and child focus organisation, in an interview list that the major threats of family and system in Nigeria are confronted with today and how it impacts on national development. The economic front, you see that our country currently, the challenges we are facing is a threat to families and ultimately to children. On the other front, like I mentioned, last year there was a huge disaster as a result of the flood that we had in the country that affected about 30 states in the country and that was a major event that separated families that brought about untold hardship on families and these are also parts of the things that families are confronting. We at SOS Children's Village, what we do is to continue to provide a nebulous environment for children to grow, which essentially is talking about families. We believe that children should be able to grow in their own families and that where this is not possible for certain reasons, a very suitable option should be made available. Well, the Deputy Country Director of SOS also bear his mind on Child Rights Act of 2003, which the National Assembly has begun the process of review. The legislature is looking at reviewing the Child Rights Act, which is very old, so I think we should start by commenting that effort. However, this is a call that the review should be holistic. We should look at all matters. The Child Rights Act is that legal to add a federation that looks at matters that relate to children and one area that also needs to be looked at critically is the issue of alternative care, which was not effectively dealt with in the original documents. So this is a call to government to also look at including alternative care matters, which looks at vulnerable children who are not able to live with their family. How can they better be cared for in other arrangements that there is need to deal with the issue of institutionalisation, which has been shown not to be the best for children? So there is a call on the government to please make this review holistic. This is an opportunity we have to do something for the children. So we are calling on them to do more than just changing a few things, but looking at the holistic review of the documents for the betterment of the Nigerian child. Hello, hope you enjoyed the news.
