Dear Children of Cross River State,
Today, we come together to celebrate one of the most important days of the year—Children’s Day. As we honor this special occasion, I, Daniel Obo Jnr, your Special Adviser on youth mobilization to the Governor, want to extend my heartfelt wishes to each and every one of you. This day is dedicated to celebrating your innocence, your dreams, and your boundless potential.
Children’s Day is more than just a celebration; it is a reminder of the vital role you play in our society. You are the future of Cross River State and of our great nation. Your energy, creativity, and enthusiasm are the driving forces that will shape our tomorrow. It is our duty as adults, leaders, and guardians to ensure that you have the best opportunities to grow, learn, and succeed.
I urge you to embrace the opportunities that come your way. Stay curious, keep learning, and never stop asking questions. Your dreams are valid, and with determination and perseverance, you can achieve anything you set your mind to. Remember that you are not alone on this journey. You have a community that believes in you and is ready to support you every step of the way.
As we celebrate today, let us also remember those children who are less fortunate, who may not have the same opportunities or privileges. It is our collective responsibility to reach out and lend a helping hand, to ensure that no child is left behind. Together, we can build a society where every child is valued, protected, and given the chance to flourish.
Daniel Obo Jnr
Special Adviser Youth Mobilization CRS.
