Child rights advocates and digital safety experts yesterday mounted pressure on Senate to urgently pass the Child Online Protection Bill (HB244), warning that continued delay is leaving millions of Nigerian children dangerously exposed to online predators, cyberbullying, sexual exploitation, and other digital harms.
The call came during a webinar convened by Gatefield and Cece Yara Child Advocacy Centre, ahead of this year’s Children’s Day celebration.
