General Olonisakin, who was represented by the Chief of Administration at the Defence Headquarters, Rear Admiral Babalola Egbedina, pointed out that the Nigerian military always pay special attention to children and their well being, even at critical theatres of operations. He stated that the Nigerian Armed Forces always handle children in accordance to the United Nation protocol and with careful observance of the Law of Armed Conflict to safeguard the children and the vulnerable.

The CDS assured the United Nation, especially the UNICEF that the Nigerian military would continue to work together with the world body and always ready to coordinate and collaborate with the UNICEF for the overall benefits of the Nigerian children, many of who were orphaned as a result of Boko Haram activities in the North East.
