But in Nigeria, it is marked on May 27 and observed as a public holiday for children.
The theme for this year’s edition is “Investing in our future means investing in our children”.
As expected, messages have been pouring in from diverse angles with President Muhammadu Buhari, governors, and other elected leaders taking centre stage.

In a statement by his media aide Femi Adesina, Buhari said every child is special and parents must treat them rightly.
“Every Children’s Day reminds us of the future, and the necessary sacrifices and building blocks by parents, guardians, teachers, leaders, and government to secure our greatest assets on earth, the younger ones,” he said.
”As a father and grandfather, I share in the joy that children bring into our lives and the fulfilment of seeing them grow.”
