Why We Must Empower Girl Child – Peter Obi
Peter Obi, the 2023 Labour Party Presidential Candidate, has underscored the urgent need for Nigeria to prioritize education and healthcare, particularly for the girl child, as foundational steps toward national development.
He emphasized this during a recent post on the microblogging platform, X, where he highlighted the necessity of advocating for the rights of the girl child, describing it as both a moral duty and a strategic investment in the nation’s future.
During his visit to Kaduna’s Womanhood College of Health Sciences and Technology, Obi donated ₦5 million, recognizing the institution’s critical role in training women for the healthcare sector.
He also reaffirmed his previously made donation of ₦10 million to Saint Gerard’s Nursing School and declared an additional contribution of ₦5 million, despite being unable to visit due to traffic congestion.
Obi reiterated his commitment to supporting initiatives that promote inclusive development. He stressed that dismantling barriers for girls is essential for building a sustainable and equitable future, emphasizing that empowering women through education and healthcare is vital for the progress of the entire nation.
