Usman said, “Education is the key to unlocking girls’ potential. It equips them with knowledge, confidence, and a brighter future.
”We want our society to thrive on the superiority of the productivity of our girls and women in general and this cannot be achieved without supporting them with honest advice and being a role model for them.”
The team encouraged parents and guardians to support their daughters’ education, underlining that investing in girls’ learning not only transforms their lives but also has a ripple effect on the entire community.
Mrs. Usman emphasized that GCC Nigeria is committed to partnering with any girl-friendly organization or any individual that is willing to support girls across Nigeria to be educated, productive, and useful to all and sundry.
