Shettima highlighted the importance of community involvement in policy-making and stressed the need to raise awareness about the risks girls face if denied education, particularly in health matters. He also appealed to international donors, like the World Bank and African Development Bank, to contribute to this cause. The Vice President warned that failing to educate girls today will have severe consequences for the nation, urging creative solutions to tackle the issue of out-of-school children.
