Briefing journalists at the pre -conference summit, the Programmes Coordinator, Nkem Orakwue, stated that the conference would among other things advocate for the enactment of the Child Rights Act in other African countries.

He said the conference will also ask for the encouragement of the use of information communication technology in monitoring, reporting and dissemination of information on child rights issues as well as to design children and youth originated programme series.

"It would also create more awareness on the International Children's Day of Broadcasting and serve as a training ground for producers and child artistes for meaningful participation and submission of entries for UNICEF ICDB programme competition," he added.
