15 million children under the age of 14 are
currently working in Nigeria. They are exposed
to dangerous environments. They have little food
and don't make very much, while missing out
on their education. The majority of them
sell items on the streets, while others
wash cars, shine shoes, etc. Some are iron
or metal workers or carpenters. Many
are abused and harassed.
Children as young as four were said to
have worked in dangerous factories and in horrible working conditions. The children were forced to work in the cocoa industry while it was booming. They usually did very light chores around the house and easy farm work.
A law has been set so that there is a mini-
mum age limit to children working at seas,
underground or in the industry setting.
Another was set to prevent abuse and harassment. One was enacted to make
sure that children in orphanages have
their basic rights. Children under 12
are prohibited from heavy lifting,
carrying, etc.
