A coalition under the auspices of Operation Save Nigerian Children has entered into a strategic partnership with the United States Institute for Diplomacy and Human Rights (USIDHR) to organise a Child Rights Summit for young people in the Niger Delta region.
This collaboration was confirmed in a formal letter dated 2 May 2025, signed by the Country Director of USIDHR Nigeria, Ambassador Ibrahim Abubakar Sani, and addressed to the Convener of Operation Save Nigerian Children, Comrade Ighorhwunu Aghogho. Copies of the correspondence were made available to journalists in Warri on Monday.
According to the USIDHR, the forthcoming summit is designed to "celebrate excellence and innovation in child education and rights advocacy."
The letter further stated:“
The summit will raise awareness on the importance of inclusive and equitable education for all children.
It will also strengthen support for the ‘Education for Every Child’ campaign and the 'Let Her Lead' initiative in Nigeria.”
While the date of the summit remains undisclosed, the letter emphasised the necessity of jointly mobilising relevant stakeholders and participants from across various sectors to ensure the success of the initiative.
