The International Labour Organisation (ILO) has decried the high rate of child labour in Ondo State, and urged media practitioners and the National Orientation Agency (NOA) to support the campaign of total elimination.
The director of the ILO Nigeria Country Office for Liberia, Sierra Leone, Ghana, Nigeria and Liaison office for ECOWAS, Mrs. Vanessa Phala, stated this yesterday during a four-day training workshop on child labour organised for the media and NOA in Akure, the state capital.
Phala said, “ILO are confronted with the harsh reality that the alarming rate of child labour in Ondo State may increase if it fail to take ownership of this fight immediately.”
