Policy Recommendations
-
To prevent child-soldier recruitment, Nigeria must resolve the economic, social, religious and cultural challenges through well-planned national re-orientation programmes that are anchored on family and societal values.
-
The state and its development partners should identify and profile all children currently involved in counterinsurgent operations.
-
The government and other stakeholders should engage development organisations that render psychological, social work, and counselling services to fast track the reorientation of the demobilised child soldiers.
-
Child soldiers who have been exposed to arms and war situations should be given vocational training.
