The Senate yesterday, urged African children not to allow prevailing social and economic challenges across the continent to derail their ambitions, assuring them that the National Assembly would continue to support initiatives aimed at improving their learning environment and overall well-being.
The assurance came as the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP) raised concerns over the growing vulnerability of children in Africa, disclosing that they account for about 75 per cent of victims of modern slavery on the continent.
