 An Ilorin base legal practitioner John Ifeolu has call for quity for Girl child, as a libration for Female folks


By Olatunde Adesola Fadero



Going by the  Statistics of the United Nations Children's Fund ,UNICEF, Nigeria has eighteen point five million out of school children with sixty percent of girls


Barrister John Ifeolu said both male and female child have Destiny to fulfill so one should not be taking as an advantage to the other.

.


This required the need for relevant authorities and stakeholders to intensify efforts on how the girl child will not lag behind and be on the same pedestrian with her male counterpart to ensure the girl child achieve all the expected and desired goals.



Over the years, the International day of the girl child beams light on the need to recognize the rights of the girl child as well as the challenges faced by her in the society 


My interaction with Hanifa Habib shows that she must be a brilliant girl but she is a drop out. according to her, all she could do is to help her parent in hawking and hope for  a better future.


It is not strange to say that neglecting a girl child at early age expose her to ilitracy, sexual harassment,  drug abuse, domestic violence, and the likes


As the world marks the International day of the girl child,  it is necessary to respect the right of girl child because recognizing the rights of the girl child is recognizing the future of women and  as such the world will become a better place for all.
