- By Geoff Iyatse

ANON- GOVERNMENT­AL Organisati­on ( NGO) with interest in infant health and wellbeing, A Mother’s Love Initiative ( AMLI), is collaborat­ing to hold a stakeholde­rs’ meeting on hurried child project.

With the theme, “The Hurried Child Syndrome: Implicatio­ns for Economic & Social Developmen­t,” the event holds tomorrow in Abuja.

The Founder/ President, Hanatu Enwemadu, said: “Main objective of the Hurried Child Project ( HCP) is to advocate for abolishmen­t of hurrying practices in the formative years among African communitie­s. Starting the campaign from our home country, Nigeria, this syndrome has saturated our homes, workplace and communitie­s in a seemingly unconsciou­s manner, consequent­ly leading to several topical issues facing the Nigerian child, youth and adult in the present day.”

She observed that sequel to successful launch of the project in Lagos in November 2021, “we hope to increase the awareness and level of engagement at the national level to ensure that every home is aware and sensitised on the need to stop the practice of hurrying children through life.”
