It is our collective responsibility to ensure that these barriers are addressed and that every girl-child in Nigeria has access to quality education.

We have seen within the last 18 years how political office holders embezzled and stole trillions of naira more than any military regime.

Girls account for 38% of Nigeria’s out-of-school children, and their education is being hindered by major barriers such as child marriage, poverty, and gender discrimination.

When finally passed into law, these bills will revolutionise and revitalise basic education, including girl-child education in Nigeria.

Our religious and traditional leaders have a significant influence on their followers, and it is imperative that they use this influence to promote the education and empowerment of the girl-child.
