The World Health Organisation Regional Office for Africa in Brazzaville, Congo, says no fewer than 72 million children in Africa are forced into child labour.
The UN’s health agency said in its official twitter account @WHOAFRO that the COVID-19 crisis had further put many more children at risk of child labour.“We must protect children from child labour, now more than ever,’’ it said. Meanwhile, the UN in a statement, said huge gains made toward ending child labour over the last 20 years, risk being reversed by the COVID-19 pandemic.The UN made the observation in a statement issued to commemorate the World Day Against Child Labour, marked annually on June 12.
It, however, appealed to governments to continue to invest in measures that have helped reduce the number of youngsters working, by 94 million since 2000.But the figure is due to be updated next year, once the wider impact of coronavirus lockdown precautions become clearer.

ade_enitan Togo children are being employed as child workers in Nigeria. They are treated like slaves and get paid around 5k per month. The worse part, the money is not given to the children, rather it is given to whoever brought them into the country. This needs to stop.
It is unfair
