Educating our young girls is the foundation for Nigeria’s growth - TopicsExpress



          

Educating our young girls is the foundation for Nigeria’s growth and development. That is why the abduction of our daughters and the attempt to truncate their education is so unacceptable. Women account for about 70% of Africa’s food production, and manage a large proportion of small enterprises. They are also increasingly represented in legislative and executive leadership positions. Moreover, the Nigerian government has concrete evidence of its fight to develop the country, to battle corruption, and to improve the country’s human development indicators. While it is true that corruption and weak governance remain serious problems, we must not overlook the efforts to tackle these challenges, nor discourage those attempting to do this difficult work.
