Children Take Over Stage in Bauchi, Demand Stronger Protection on World Children’s Day
It was an inspiring scene in Bauchi on Monday as children from across the state stepped onto the stage — not to perform, but to speak boldly about their rights. The event, held to mark World Children’s Day, brought together young voices determined to shape the future they deserve.
The children delivered powerful speeches addressing issues such as access to quality education, safety in communities, inclusiveness, and respect for their dignity. Their messages were directed at representatives of the Bauchi State Government who were present to listen.
Aisha, one of the young speakers, urged leaders to “protect every child, no matter where they come from,” while another child called for investment in learning environments and justice for victims of abuse.

Key officials from the ministries of education, justice, and local government affairs attended the event, taking notes as the children spoke about their daily realities and hopes for the future. Some officials later engaged in interactive discussions, outlining what the state is already doing and what more can be achieved.
Organizers described the gathering as a reminder that children are not just beneficiaries of policies, but active stakeholders whose voices must be heard.
As the program ended, the children left the stage with applause — and with the confidence that their message had reached the right ears. The day highlighted not just celebration, but advocacy, courage, and a collective commitment to building a safer and brighter future for every child in Bauchi.
