The international day of the girl-child may have come and gone but key players have continued to engage issues bordering on the welfare of the girl-child.

Many say that for Nigeria to achieve success with the sustainable development goals (SDGS) policies aimed at promoting social freedom and financial empowerment for the girl-child must be given priority.

Nigeria is said to have the highest number of out of school children in Africa. Statistics show that out of the fifty-seven million out of school children worldwide, Nigeria accounts for about ten million. This development, analysts say calls for urgent attention.

They therefore want government to encourage the girl-child through affordable education and financial empowerment. AIT
