ABUJA — Civil society organisations, child rights advocates, educators, digital rights experts and policy stakeholders have called on the Senate to urgently pass the Child Online Access Protection Bill, warning that millions of Nigerian children remain exposed to increasing online threats.
The appeal was made during a high-level film screening and policy dialogue held in Abuja, where participants highlighted the growing risks of cyberbullying, online grooming, sexual exploitation and other forms of digital abuse affecting children.
