Today is another very important day in the history of the world. We are celebrating the future of the world, because it is said that when you educate a female you educate a nation.

Let me commence this statement on a congratulatory note to all girl child out there, you are indeed specially created to make difference in the world. Gradually, our place in the society is being recognized.

As girls we can have the potential to become what we want to be. Once you can dream of it, you can achieve it. We are a potential pilots, engineer, surgeon, ICT expert, technocrat, accountant, financial expert and above all a mother. We have the capacity if well supported to become anything good in life.

Over the years, Alimosho Local Government has been supporting the girls within the community. We have facilitated mentoring programme for girls, supporting girl child education and promoting the activities of girl child within the local government.

I want to challenge every girl out there, let us take bold step today and walk towards our dream. We have the capacity to achieve what we want to be. Just like what Fatima Ansari, Pakistan said“Just like boys, girls can become doctors, lawyers, accountants we can do anything if we have the support. We just want to have the same opportunities” we can make the best out of ourselves.

To our parents, let us understand that every girl child is as important as the boy. I want to appeal to them to train and support the girl child in their career life and give them more moral and financial attention. The girl child can achieve more with the support and dedication of their parents.

Once again I congratulate you all as we celebrate ourselves and our future.
