The Executive Director of UNICEF, Catherine Russell, has commended the Sokoto State Government for its commitment to child health and digital innovation, saying the state is showing what is possible when leadership, partnership and community effort align.
Speaking to journalists at the Government House in Sokoto yesterday, the UNICEF chief said her visit to the Rumbukawa Primary Health Centre and the Sokoto Digital Village left her inspired. She noted interactions with health workers, teachers, local officials and mothers who are determined to give children the best start in life.
She also met children and young people whose curiosity and ambition, she said, are proof that investing in young Nigerians is the wisest investment in the country’s future. “I met children whose creativity and ambition remind us why we must keep investing in them,” she said.
