The first lady, also admonished Nigerian girls not to relent in learning skills that can make their lives better.

“Every girl should be able to dream of a future where she can grow without limits. Education is the bedrock of that future.

“When girls lead, the impact is immediate and far-reaching touching families, communities and ultimately economies.

“However, too many girls are still denied their rights, restricting their choices and limiting their future.
