BREAKING THE SILENCE: ADDRESSING CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE IN THE CHURCH AND COMMUNITY.
It was a great privilege to be part of this advocacy in the Church community, i understand that the Church is a great platform for community engagement.
As a way to round up the Annual Family Weekend Programme of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) Worldwide, we at RCCG Root of Jesse Assembly (ROJA) focused on a deeply troubling trend, one that is now gaining public attention and prompting aggressive social actions aimed at stemming the tide.
And that is: “Breaking the Silence: Addressing Child Sexual Abuse in the Church and Community”
It was a Talk Back Service that looked deeply into the menace of child sexual abuse, the role of the family, and the role of the Church in keeping our children safe.
The fight against child sexual abuse is our collective responsibility, and I’m super excited that the Church is actively involved in this fight.
SOCIAL WORKERS' VIEW ON ALCOHOL HARM REDUCTION IN NIGERIA
AT THE ANNUAL CONFERENCE OF ADVOCATES AGAINST ALCOHOL HARM IN NIGERIA (ASAAHN).
I was greatly honoured to have the opportunity to represent my professional body, the Nigeria Association of Social Workers (NASoW), Lagos State Chapter, which is not only the umbrella body of social workers in Nigeria but also an affiliate of the International Federation of Social Workers (IFSW) at this conference.
As social workers, we stand at the intersection of public health, mental health, and social justice, three key areas deeply impacted by alcohol use and misuse in our communities. This made the discussion an important one for us.
For us, alcohol harm transcends consumption and an individual’s behaviour; it affects families, communities, and the social systems. As social workers, we see firsthand how alcohol misuse leads to or is a major contributor to domestic violence, family disintegration, child neglect, child abuse, even child sexual abuse, road accidents, poverty, declining productivity, mental health issues, chronic health conditions, and ultimately death.
Therefore, we as social workers advocate that alcohol harm reduction must be approached as both a public health and social welfare issue.
2025 WORLD MENTAL HEALTH DAY CAMPAIGN– SCHOOL OUTREACH, FCT ABUJA.
This year, The Concern Home Social & Charitable Initiative (TCH) commemorated World Mental Health Day with a focused school outreach campaign across selected schools in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja. The initiative aimed to deepen mental health awareness among students and strengthen psychosocial support within the school community.
Through interactive discussions, group activities, and age-appropriate teaching sessions, students were educated on stress management, emotional regulation, self-esteem building, peer support, and how to seek help when facing mental or emotional challenges. Teachers and school staff also received sensitization on identifying early signs of distress and fostering a safe, supportive environment for learners.
The outreach positively impacted hundreds of students and educators, equipping them with practical knowledge and tools to understand and prioritize their mental well-being. Mental health resource materials were shared to reinforce learning and encourage ongoing conversations within the schools.
The 2025 campaign reaffirmed TCH’s commitment to promoting holistic well-being and ensuring that every child feels supported, empowered, and emotionally safe. We remain dedicated to expanding mental health education and interventions to more schools across Nigeria.

Engaging Graduating Students of CRSS on The Cult Trap: What They Promise, What You Lose” - The Link to Drugs, Crime, and Mental Health.
“The Cult Trap: What They Promise, What You Lose” sheds light on the deceptive allure of cult groups and the heavy price members ultimately pay. The discussion exposed how false promises of belonging, power, and protection often draw young people into cultism, only to entangle them in cycles of drug abuse, crime, and deteriorating mental health. Participants were urged to recognize these dangers, resist peer pressure, and seek healthier alternatives for identity and community. the talk further emphasized the collective responsibility of families, schools, and society to provide guidance, positive role models, and supportive environments that help youths steer clear of cult involvement.

IN COMMEMORATION OF INT'L DAY AGAINST CHILD LABOUR DEVATOP CENTER FOR AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT
I was privileged to have represented my professional association, Nigeria Association of Social Workers (NASoW) Lagos Chapter at this conference to discuss issues that concern Child Labour.
Highlights of the Conference are as follows:
• We are not to accept and normalize the concept of Child Labour
• Children cannot be workers, as they cannot enter into a contract, and so child labour should not even be recognized
• Child Domestic Labour can be categorized as domestic violence or child exploitation and should not be encouraged on any ground
• These children are often recruited from rural backgrounds
• They are deprived of their rights and human rights.
• Even if the child is being sent to school, as long as that child is being used for labour, the school is seen as a form of remuneration, because a child should not work for remuneration under any law.
• Lagos State has put in place polices and a legal framework to tackle Child exploitation and Child Domestic Violence. In 2019, Legislation was passed by the State Assembly – the Domestic Staff Service Provider Registration Law, which mandates the registration of domestic service providers to regulate recruitment into domestic work. Children are usually excluded at the point of registration.
• The Law requires that people engage only registered service providers as domestic service providers, and to ensure that children are not trafficked for domestic work.
• Several agencies are held accountable for the verification of workers and their identity and age.
• We also have the Domestic and Sexual Violence Agency Law – DSVA is a dedicated agency for combating all forms of domestic and sexual violence.
• Amongst the leading crimes in “Child’s Labour” that’s being frowned at is that children are abused, they are molested, aside from depriving them of their rights to education, experience their childhood, they are assaulted by known or unknown adults.
• The Lagos State Government, through the DSVA, provides direct legal, medical, and psychological support to victims of these illegal activities, which happen when children are engaged as domestic service providers or they just live with adults who, in one way or another other infringe their rights.
• The DSVA manages temporary shelter & runs an extensive awareness & public campaign.
EMPOWERING WOMEN THROUGH HEALTH AWARENESS
The session on women’s empowerment through health awareness underscored the importance of women taking charge of their health as a foundation for personal growth, family stability, and societal development.
Participants explored key areas of women’s health, with emphasis on early disease prevention, regular health screenings, and healthy lifestyle practices. Nutrition was also highlighted as a powerful tool for boosting immunity, managing stress, and enhancing overall well-being and productivity.
By providing women with practical knowledge and actionable steps, the session inspired them to make informed health decisions, advocate for their well-being, and ultimately lead healthier, more empowered lives.
ADDRESSING SOCIAL PROBLMENS AMONG YOUTHS IN NIGERIA
Life is in phases and transient, especially compared to life in eternity; being young is a phase of life that lasts for a season.
Some of the key characteristics of youths include:
• Energetic, Curiosity, Risk-taking, Critical thinking, Problem-solving, Logical reasoning, Hope, Courage, etc.

• 70% of Nigeria’s population is youth.
• This demographic shift underscores the significance of addressing the challenges faced by young people.
Social problems faced by young people today are complex, with multiple contributing factors.
Some social issues that youths today are either perpetrators or victims of include:

DEALING WITH THE CHALLENGES OF GEN-Z & GEN ALPHA– FOCUS ON PARENTING STYLE.
The session explored the evolving dynamics of raising children in today’s rapidly changing world. It emphasized the need to uphold core family values while embracing flexibility in parenting. Parents were encouraged to adopt a balanced approach that combines firmness with friendliness—creating a safe environment where children feel confident to express their thoughts and challenges.
The discussion also highlighted the vital role of parents as role models and reinforced that parenting is a shared social responsibility. It reminded everyone of the collective duty to guide, correct, and support not only our own children but also others within the community.
