Despite the benefits of educating the girl child, over 10 million children in Nigeria — 60 percent of whom are girls — are out of school, IgbereTV reports
This is just as the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) of the UK has embarked on funding the Girl-child Education Project Phase 3 (GEP3) project since 2012 which has enabled no less than 1.4 million girls in Northern Nigeria to access education.
The disclosure was made by the Chief, UNICEF Field Office, Bauchi, Dr Tushar Rane while speaking at the opening of a Media Dialogue on Girls’ Education held at Chartwell Hotel, Bauchi on Wednesday
