Kaunda, who was accompanied on the visit by some officials of the foundation, said that he was also motivated by the need to involve Nigeria in the campaign because of the leading role the nation is playing on the African continent, adding that African children must contribute positively to the growth and development of the continent.
In her remark, the Deputy Governor, Orelope-Adefulire, disclosed that the state government will soon inaugurate a body to enforce the laws on domestic violence in order to save the children of the state from all forms of abuse.
