MOWN/OSSC/PRMC/250527:028
The Man O’ War Nigeria, Osun State Command, joins millions of Nigerians and the international community in celebrating the 2026 Children’s Day, a special occasion dedicated to honouring the innocence, dreams, talents, and future of children across the nation.
Children remain the pride of every society and the foundation upon which the future of any nation is built. As an organization committed to discipline, leadership development, community service, and nation-building, Man O’ War Nigeria recognizes the importance of protecting, nurturing, and empowering every child to become responsible and productive members of society.
On this significant occasion, the Osun State Command calls on parents, guardians, educators, religious institutions, community leaders, and government at all levels to continue prioritizing the welfare, education, moral upbringing, and security of children. Every child deserves a safe environment, quality education, proper guidance, and equal opportunity to thrive and achieve their full potential.
While commemorating this year’s Children’s Day celebration, the Command also expresses deep concern and heartfelt sympathy over the unfortunate incident involving the reported abduction of school children, including infants and young pupils, alongside some teachers in Ogbomosho Area of Oyo State by suspected armed bandits.
The Osun State Command of Man O’ War Nigeria strongly condemns every act of violence, criminality, and insecurity targeted at innocent citizens, especially children. We extend our sincere condolences and solidarity to the affected families, the school community, and the Government and people of Oyo State during this painful and distressing moment.
We fervently pray for the quick, safe, and unharmed release of all victims and call on relevant security agencies to intensify efforts towards ensuring their rescue and the restoration of peace and security within the affected area.
Furthermore, we use this opportunity to pray for the peace, unity, stability, and progress of Nigeria and Osun State in particular. May Almighty God continue to protect our children, strengthen our leaders with wisdom and courage, and grant our nation lasting peace, security, and prosperity.
As we celebrate our children today, let us all renew our collective responsibility towards building a society where every child can grow without fear, oppression, violence, or insecurity.
Happy Children’s Day to all Nigerian children.
_“Build The Man, Build The Community.”_
