By Joel Ajayi
As Nigeria joins the rest of the world to celebrate 2022 children’s day celebration, a group known as A Mother’s Love Initiative AMLI, has urged government at all levels, Parents and guardians to concentrate on child focused interventions instead of their “Hurried Child Project” that is not helping the children.
The founder of AMLI, organization, Mrs. Hanatu Enwemadu Esq, stated this on Friday in Abuja at the occasion of May 27th children day celebration across the world to bring to fore issues pertaining to the growth and development of the next generation.
At the event that hosts children and young people from schools and institutions across the country in celebration of the Nigerian child.
She expressed that, Children are the future and there is need for all to join hands to protect them, and preserve the future of Nigeria, and Africa at large.
According to her, today, we at A Mother’s Love Initiative AMLI have taken it upon ourselves to create awareness on the need to concentrate on the welfare of the Nigerian child.
“Children form the core of the family, and family is the core of every society: hence, the welfare and interest of the child must be the fore, and core of any polity if we will achieve the new Nigeria which we all clamor for.
We are here today to intentionally celebrate the resilience of the Nigerian child despite all the negativity and create positive, loving and lasting memories for them.
Speaking on the burning issues relating to the Nigerian child and young people, which is
The Hurried Child Syndrome (psychosocial maladjustment inflicted on adolescents and youths as a result of hurrying them through their educational and developmental milestones), which threaten their existence and wellbeing.
She called on all and sundry, and in particular, parents, caregivers. Guardians, teachers, school owners, and all stakeholders to celebrate Nigerian children and celebrate each moment and stage of their lives, that will allow children to grow at their pace.
“We also call on the society to concentrate on child focused interventions, since children are fast becoming endangered species in Nigeria with the spate of abductions in schools and all manner of vices children are exposed to in Nigeria.”
In his opening addressed the AMLI legal adviser Uche Ginika Esq said desire to have a better future was the reason for the event to promote and engineer public discuss relating to the general wellbeing of the Nigerian child, and to witness the launch of the “The Hurried Child Project” an intense exposé on the ills of hurrying our dear children through life.
However, during the event various lectures, expositions, and presentations relating to children’s welfare; entertainment was in place a step geared towards creating awareness on the predicaments of the Nigerian child, while demanding empathy for the threatened wellbeing and future of Nigeria.

Nigeria’s Historic Bid for the 2030 Commonwealth Games: A Call for National and Global Support
Joel Ajayi
Nigeria is poised to make history as it seeks to host the Centenary Commonwealth Games in 2030, a monumental opportunity that promises to transform the nation’s economy, infrastructure, and global standing.
More than a sporting spectacle, the Games would serve as a catalyst for development across multiple sectors, leaving behind a legacy of national pride and sustainable growth.
The benefits of hosting the Games extend far beyond the sports arena. Nigeria stands to gain both empirical and non-empirical advantages, with direct, indirect, and induced impacts that will touch every corner of society. Infrastructural development will take center stage, with new facilities such as indoor sports halls, conference centers, and improved road networks reshaping urban landscapes while strengthening the nation’s capacity to host future international events.
Economic growth is another significant dividend. Over 10,000 jobs are expected to be created, spanning construction, facility management, event planning, and tourism services.
The hospitality industry will undergo major improvements as hotels and resorts are upgraded to meet international standards, while local restaurants, lounges, and tourist attractions will see a surge in patronage from international visitors. Small and medium enterprises, particularly in the transport, finance, and food service sectors, will become some of the greatest beneficiaries, as the Games generate new demand and expand opportunities for local businesses.
The Commonwealth Games will also accelerate the growth of Nigeria’s sports industry.
Investments in training facilities, coaching, and talent development will inspire a new generation of athletes, ensuring long-term benefits that extend beyond 2030, a major focus of the President Bola Tinubu administration.
At the same time, the process of preparing for the Games will create opportunities for Nigerians to learn new crafts, acquire technical skills, and engage in global-standard event management, thereby strengthening human capacity and innovation across industries.
Mallam Shehu Dikko, Chairman of the Nigeria Sports Commission, and Hon. Bukola Olopade, the Director General, have been widely recognized for their tireless and visionary leadership in repositioning Nigeria’s sporting sector.
Their commitment to facilitating infrastructural development and strengthening grassroots sports development has laid the foundation for Nigeria’s bold bid to host the 2030 Commonwealth Games. Under their leadership, the NSC is fostering strategic partnerships and driving innovation in sports administration, they have demonstrated the nation’s readiness to stage an event of such global magnitude.
Beyond the tangible gains, the hosting of the 2030 Commonwealth Games carries profound symbolic value. It would be a moment of unity and pride, a chance for Nigeria to showcase its cultural richness, resilience, and excellence to the world.
As a centenary edition, the Games would stand as a historic milestone not just for the Commonwealth but for Nigeria itself, cementing its place on the global stage as a capable, ambitious, and forward-looking nation.
The gains from hosting the Commonwealth Games can never be undermined or overemphasized. This is Nigeria’s time to step forward and show the world our resilience, and excellence. We call on every Nigerian, across sectors and communities, to support this noble aspiration.
Nigeria’s pursuit of the 2030 Commonwealth Games is a vision for transformation, a blueprint for national development, and a legacy project that will inspire generations to come.
