Tinubu unveils four-year action plan to end child labour

President Bola Tinubu has declared the elimination of child labour a national development priority, stating that it affects education, poverty reduction, economic growth, food security, human capital development, and national security. In a recent National Dialogue on Advancing the Implementation of Nigeria’s National Child Labour Policy and National Action Plan (2026-2030), Tinubu announced the administration's commitment to tackling the root causes of child labour through various measures, including strengthening labour administration and inspection systems, child protection mechanisms, and interventions targeting poverty, unemployment, inadequate access to quality education, and social exclusion.
