President Bola Tinubu has declared the elimination of child labour a national development priority, unveiling a four-year action plan to tackle the issue. During the National Dialogue on Advancing the Implementation of Nigeria’s National Child Labour Policy and National Action Plan (2026-2030), Tinubu emphasized that child labour affects education, poverty reduction, economic growth, food security, human capital development, and national security.
To address the root causes of child labour, the government will strengthen labour administration and inspection systems, child protection mechanisms, and interventions targeting poverty, unemployment, inadequate access to quality education, and social exclusion.
