“This is a powerful reminder of our commitment to amplifying the voices of girls as we build a future that is inclusive, equitable, and sustainable,” she maintained.

The APWEN president averred that for the desired transformation to take palace, we must create an enabling environment where voices of the girl-child are not only heard but valued and acted upon.

She called on the federal government to initiate and implement policies that will encourage the girl-child to pursue careers in areas that will give them opportunities to compete favourably with their male counterparts.
