Borno State governor, Babagana Umara Zulum has said that his administration has enrolled thousands of out- of – school girls in an ongoing target of admitting 500,000 girls into public primary schools across the state.
Zulum stated this on Tuesday when he hosted the United Nations deputy secretary general, Amina Mohammed, alongside Malala Yousafzai, a girl-child education activist and UN peace ambassador in Maiduguri.
Malala Yousafzai, came to Nigeria to commemorate 10 years of her first speech at the UN General Assembly and to celebrate Malala Day.
Every July 12th, the UN celebrates Malala Day in honour of Malala Yousafzai. The day falls on her birthday, which seems fitting to honour her extraordinary life spent fighting for the rights of children and women.
