Nigerian parents have been urged by the federal government to let their young children help make matchboxes, toothpicks, cotton buds, and sanitary pads.
This was said on Thursday during the 2023 Anambra Investment Summit hosted at the International Conference Centre in Akwa, the state capital, by the minister of women’s affairs, Uju Kennedy-Ohanenye.
Kennedy-Ohanenye argued that Fridays should be given to kids free time so they can start producing things. She also supported teaching about urban development in schools across the nation.

The minister claimed that other countries, like China, had high rates of urban development because children there participate in production.
She said: “I am pleading for us to look into more production of some of these things in our societies, especially the necessities like the matchbox, the toothpick, the cotton buds, the sanitary pads and stuff like that.
“Let us introduce urban development in the schools, if we can think about using Fridays as free for our children to start producing things just like they do in China. In China, even young kids get involved in production.”
Kennedy-Ohanenye stated that the Traders Union Association is prepared to collaborate on the effort so that the goods created by the kids can be shipped and sold domestically.

The minister continued by saying that the action would reduce drug misuse among minors and lower the nation’s high unemployment rates.
She added: “I was able to speak to the president of the Traders Union Association, and they are ready to partner on this where, when they produce these things, they carry them into a market within our country.
“This will not only create jobs, but we will also stop the issue of giving handouts to Nigerians when they’re supposed to be eating fat.
“We will equally cartel the drug intake of our children because there will be more occupied at school, and we will lead to some productions to start any money on time.

“It will equally cartel the insecurity in our society. Let us help ourselves. If we are hoping for the government to do it all, it will never happen.”
