Today, March 17 2016, a corps member presently serving in Bauchi State will be hosting female students from selected schools in Bauchi to a programme she tagged "Educate, Empower and Enlighten the Girl-child". She has three female facilitators who will be speaking on this topic and sharing their experiences to encourage the young girls to aspire to be more in life.

According to the host of the event, Aanu Bankole, there was a great challenge in putting the programme together as majority of the people she approached for sponsorship gave one excuse or the other as to why they could not help while some didn't even bother to reply her several mails.

"The initial plan was even to do a personal community development project where books, soaps and sanitary towels will be given to senior secondary school students in Bauchi local government but the responses I got were not encouraging and I wanted to cancel the whole thing altogether. But my passion for the girl-child education and enlightenment pushed me to organise this seminar. I'm glad that in my own little way I can positively impact the girls' lives during my NYSC year in Bauchi."

Aanu Bankole is a graduate of Sociology from the University of Lagos and aside her passion for the girl-child empowerment, she has a flair for dressmaking too.

If you are in Bauchi, please support this young lady and attend the seminar at Bauchi State Library.
