It’s essential to acknowledge that news production incurs expenses, and we take pride in never placing our stories behind a prohibitive paywall. “As governor of Lagos State, before I became President of Nigeria on May 29, 2023, I witnessed first-hand how societal challenges, such as unwanted teenage pregnancy, domestic violence, human trafficking and drug addiction, can obstruct the promising future of young girls.
“We must be conscious of the fact that the empowerment of women and girls is essential to achieving each of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals. We must work together to promote laws and policies that protect and promote women’s rights, invest in girls’ education and skills development, and create economic opportunities that are accessible to all. Act is key to achieving these goals as it will ensure that all young people have unhindered access to education.
