nigeria: Revisit Child Rights Bill, Rights Commission Urges N/Assembly

The National Human Rights Commission has called on the National Assembly to revisit the Child Rights Bill, which was thrown out by the House last month. Stressing that as signatories to the International Convention on Child Rights, Nigeria is bound to make laws that would improve the condition of the Nigerian Child, Mr. Bukhari Bello, executive Chairman of the Commission, suggested that the legislators were probably not sensitised enough on what the bill is all about.
