Governor Chukwuma Soludo of Anambra State has promised increased investment in education describing the children as the future of the state.
Governor Soludo, in company of his wife, Nonye, participated in the activities to mark the day at Dr. Alex Ekwueme Square, Awka.
The theme for this year's event is "Enhancing Total Wellbeing Of The Nigerian Child, Through Quality Education And Skills Development".
In an address, the Governor appreciated millions of children of Anambra state, describing them as Anambra's glorious future.
While assuring to continue to prioritize their future by investing in education, Governor Soludo stated that education was the bridge to the future, expressing optimism that the investments made by his administration, will start yielding results soon.
He enumerated some of his administration's strides including recruitment of 8115 teachers based on merit, free education, increase in enrollment into Anambra schools by 18.7 %, among others, saying that Anambra children matter as the greatest asset.
The governor called on everyone to invest in education, describing it as everyone's responsibility through the Public-Private-Community-Partnership, PPCP model, as government cannot do it alone.

Victory Ekwunife who thanked the Governor for implementing their plea during the previous year's exercise, solicited for complete implementation of the child rights law, provision of shelter for children and provision of correctional center for children who are in conflict with the law.
