The Naomi Stephen Children Foundation has honoured Nigeria’s Minister of Defence, Gen. Christopher Gwabin Musa (retd.), for his contributions to youth mentorship and development in Kaduna State.
Musa received the Guardian of Peace and Youth Mentor Award at the maiden Kaduna Summer Children’s Party and Talent Show held at Stemar Pinnacle Event Centre, Gonin Gora.
The event, themed “Empowering Tomorrow’s Leaders Through Play and Creativity,” brought children together for games, talent displays, paper presentations and other activities designed to promote creativity, confidence and leadership skills.
The Chairperson of the Civil Defence Officers Wives Association (CDOWA), Kaduna State chapter, Mrs Victoria Panam Musa, was also honoured with the Pillar of Unity, Progress and Child Advocacy Award.
Speaking at the event, Victoria Musa stressed the importance of providing children with opportunities to play, socialise and develop their talents. She noted that raising responsible children was a collective responsibility.
The guest lecturer, Dr Alabi Usman Dauda of Kaduna Polytechnic, said play and creativity were essential to developing children’s confidence, problem-solving abilities and leadership skills.
The foundation’s coordinator, Comrade Shedrack Ovye Anzaku, said the organisation, established in 2020, had implemented several initiatives, including feeding programmes for children, hospital visits and support for orphanages.
He added that the foundation would continue the annual summer party while expanding its programmes focused on educating, entertaining and developing children.
