My Dream For Nigeria Girl-Child – Aisha Buhari

President Muhammadu Buhari’s wife, Aisha is not happy with Boko Haram’s abduction of schoolgirls and aid workers in the North-East…

“We have all causes to say to these terrorists, leave our daughters alone. I wish to reiterate the message, leave our daughters alone. I want us to remember all girls whose dreams have been cut short as a result of the injustice in the society and very fresh in our minds is the recent execution of Hauwa Liman, an aid worker by the Boko Haram insurgents.”

“According to the World Bank, girl education is one of the most effective ways of ending poverty in developing countries. As an educated girl-child grows into a woman, she is able to build her self-confidence and she is able to overcome obstacles and succeed in her career.”

“My dream for the Nigerian girl-child is to rise above limitations and take an advantage of the available education opportunities offered by the government to ensure that she attains the highest level of education. An educated girl-child is the face of education in this country.”
