She wrote, “I join in the celebration of the year 2024 International Day of the Girl Child.

“The theme for this year, ‘Girls’ Vision for the Future’ is very apt. Every girl should be able to dream of a future where she can grow without limits. Education is the bedrock of that future. We must continue to invest in education starting from the home, teaching our girls to believe in themselves and the values of self-worth and dignity, thereby equipping them with the confidence to face the future.

“With the right support, resources and opportunities, the potential of the world’s more than 1.1 billion girls know no bounds. As a nation, we have come a long way in ensuring the education of the Girl Child.

“An educated Girl Child is a transformed woman. She will be able to make informed choices about her health and well-being. When girls lead, the impact is immediate and far-reaching touching families, communities, and ultimately economies.”
