The former Woman leader equally charged female youths to remain, focused, firefighter and resilent in their struggles to make it in life, adding that they are blessings to society.

“Let them continue to be a blessing to the family. Parents should train them by giving them a quality education. They should shun vices that will ridicule them and family”

Ambassador Uju who doubles as the President general of ‘Idi n’otu women; ‘Ukwuinyi Nnanano Nkwerre’called on the general public not to curtail girls’ and women’s rights as it does not only endanger female genders but as well roll back progress on gender equality.

However, the International Day of the Girl (IDG) – observed annually on 11 October is a global platform to advocate for the full spectrum of girls’ rights. The observation supports more opportunity for girls and increases awareness of gender inequality.
