Abstract
There is a saying that cuts across the nation that " children are th.e future." They are the future of any family and country. To this extent, it is the duty of every government and society to ensure that children are given every care, help, protection, training and education, required, in order to grow into useful citizens and members of society. This paper is aimed at bringing to our knowledge some of the ills suffered by the Nigerian child even though the government has in place policies that are meant to favour them and · enable them to enjoy a better life. With the help of data obtained from secondary sources, the paper points out some of the ·areas in the Child Rights policy that the government need to further examine and make necessary adjustments for the betterment of the child. These areas include the right to education, child labour, child discrimination, child health and security.
