President Bola Tinubu has condemned bullying and pledged to create a safer, more supportive environment for Nigerian children.
In his 2025 Children’s Day message, Tinubu emphasized this year’s theme—Stand Up, Speak Up: Building a Bullying-Free Generation”,as a call to action against violence and neglect.
Citing alarming statistics, he revealed that up to 65% of Nigerian schoolchildren have faced some form of bullying.
The President highlighted the implementation of a National Action Plan to end violence against children and urged stakeholders to embed child protection in policies and budgets. He called for collective responsibility to ensure no child suffers in silence.
