Our unrelenting struggle for a new Nigeria is, among other reasons, the desire to build a better nation where the girl child will be protected free and safe to live and thrive.
Educating the girl child is imperative and remains critical to transforming our nation and reducing gender inequality. Regrettably females school enrollment has remained poor in many parts of the country, with over 60% of the out-of-school children in Nigeria being females. We must, therefore, ensure that the girl child, no matter where she lives has access to affordable and qualitative education.
Nigeria and the world at large should remain ever committed to building a more secured and productive World, in which the girl child will freely explore and be empowered to live her life to the fullest, while contributing positively to the growth and development of the nation.
#Happy International Day of the Girl Child!
