Chairman of the Council Adeleye Ajayi gave the advice on International Day of the Boy Child. The day is celebrated globally on May 16  to focus on boys and their wellbeing.
He noted here was neglect of issues concerning the boy child in the nation, adding that boys needed to be taught the right skills and morals for healthy and safe society.
Ajayi however cited examples of how boys in the rural areas and even cities not properly guided take to crime and other vices hence, the need to pay more attention to them. He also canvassed for technical training for boys who were not able to cope with regular school as well as other initiatives to keep them positively busy for the overall good of the nation.
Also speaking, Chairperson, Lagos State Chapter of the Nigeria Association of Women Journalists, NAWOJ Adeola Ekine, urged parents to give both male and female children equal treatment. He stressed that there is too much focus on the difficulties girls face, with no one giving thought to issues affecting boys in the society.
