The day celebrated worldwide as Children’s Day is marked to fete and extol the virtues of children and childhood. Despite the restrictions on their activities, which have forced a prolonged holiday with no end in sight for kids across the country, the day still went without an activity celebrating children. In Lagos, The Destiny Trust hosted the wife of the Vice President, Mrs. Dolapo Osinbajo, in a virtual story reading to some children to mark the day. Mrs. Osinbajo sang and read story to Nigerian children in a surprise story reading session. Also in celebration of the day, Prof. Oluwatoyin Jegede, a mother and lecturer at the Department of English, University of Ibadan, has said the importance of celebrating children cannot be quantified.
