the Albino
Foundation has called on the federal Government to
provide genuine free education and free health care
delivery for every Nigerian child.
The President of the Foundation, Jake Epelle who made
the call in an interview with Kapital FM in Abuja called
on the Government to fully implement the Child Right
Act.
Speaking on this year’s theme “Conflicts and Crisis in
Africa; Protecting all Children’s Right”, Mr Epelle said
all hands need to be on deck in advocacy and
sensitizing the public on the Child Right Act to protect
the right of the Nigerian Child.
“The child needs to be properly
sensitized, the Parents need to be
properly sensitized, the society
needs to be properly sensitized on
the rights and privileges of the child
and what should be done and can be
done interns of crisis and conflicts
moments.The child Right Act is very
good but it is not fully implemented,
the member states should implement
the Act and take precaution
measures in safe guarding the right
of the African Child,”he said.
He called on all concerned stakeholders to come up
with a holistic approach in solving the problem of child
labour,which he said is a major problem that needs an
urgent approach.
Speaking on some of the challenges faced by an albino

child to include, health hazard(skin cancer),
stigmatization, lack of education, parental challenges
and low political will on the side of the government to
look into their challenges, Epelle said the Foundation
will continue to partner the government, stakeholders
and the media in protecting the right of every Albino
child in the country.
The Day of the African Child is celebrated every year
since 1991, when it was first initiated by the
Organisation of African Unity.
It honours those who participated in the Soweto
Uprising in 1976 on that day and raises awareness of
the continuing need for improvement of the education
provided to African children.

2-Year-Old Boy Dragged Into Water By Aligator Has Been Found

Following the incident which took place on Tuesday
night, Orange County dive team found Lane Graves’
body intact about 1:45 p.m., not far from where he was

grabbed said Sheriff Jerry Demings  “Of course, the autopsy has to confirm that, but there is likely no question in my mind that the child was drowned by the alligator,” Demings said. Demings said.

He said the body was found in 6 feet of murky water 10

to 15 yards from where the boy was attacked.

The fact that the body was found intact makes sense,

Authorities Search For Boy Dragged Away By Alligator

“

That gator came in, grabbed that

boy, pulled him, the dad startled that

gator, the gator let him go and then

the boy drowned,” he said.

Alligators don’t swim that far — they sink into the

murky water and lurk there — which explains why the

father did not see the boy when he jumped into the

water to try and save him, Corwin said.

The boy’s parents are from Elkhorn, Nebraska, and

were identified as Matt and Melissa Graves.

“The Graves family appreciates the support they have

received and have asked for privacy as they grieve the

loss of their son,” the sheriff’s department tweeted.
