The president also advised all Nigerians to carry forward the campaign, saying that it promises to gift an educated girl-child the potential to bring the necessary change and transformation in  African communities for the better.

“I am aware that this campaign has been successfully launched in 15 other African countries, focusing on health, education, economic empowerment and gender based violence.

“I am happy to note that the foundation stone of one of the schools was recently laid in Osun State, in western Nigeria, by the first lady. More schools are underway across the country, supported by state governments, the federal government through the Universal Basic Education Commission (UBEC), and other development partners.
