HAPPY INTERNATIONAL DAY OF THE GIRL CHILD
Today, October 11, I Hon. Dr. (Mrs) Adetutu Owolabi, warmly celebrates every girl child in Edo State, Nigeria, and across the world on the occasion of the International Day of the Girl Child.
The girl child is a precious gift, a symbol of hope, and a vital pillar in building a better society. Every girl deserves access to quality education, good healthcare, protection, equal opportunities, and the freedom to pursue her dreams.
As we celebrate this special day, I encourage parents, guardians, community leaders, and relevant stakeholders to continue investing in the education, welfare, and empowerment of our girls, ensuring that they grow up in an environment where their voices are heard, their rights are protected, and their potentials are nurtured.
To every girl child in Edo State, I want you to know that you are valuable, you are capable, and your dreams are valid. Never allow challenges to discourage you from becoming the best version of yourself. Believe in your abilities, remain focused on your education, embrace good values, and strive for excellence in everything you do. You are not just the leaders of tomorrow; you are also important contributors to the development of our society today.
I remain committed to promoting the welfare, empowerment, and advancement of women and girls. Together, we must build a society where every girl has the opportunity to learn, grow, lead, and succeed without discrimination or limitation.
Signed:
Hon. Dr. (Mrs) Adetutu Owolabi. Chairman, Governing Council, Edo State College of Health Sciences and Technology
