NEYIF ENGAGES WORKERS ON CHILD PROTECTION
The North East Youth Initiative for Development (NEYIF) has engaged project staff, community gatekeepers, case workers, community volunteers, teachers and mental health and psycho-social support facilitators on child protection and case management in Yobe State. The Executive Director of NEYIF, Comrade Dauda Muhammad Gombe, who addressed the participants at a workshop, said it was organised to ensure the safety and wellbeing of children in the North East.
He said the workshop was a collaboration between NEYIF and UNICEF in a bid to provide Yobe’s communities with resources and knowledge necessary to safeguard children. Comrade Gombe noted that the project came at a critical moment, providing the much-needed platform to strengthen child protection mechanisms within the communities.
