Shettima Calls for Focus on Girl Child Education
Vice President Kashim Shettima has called on stakeholders to prioritize quality education for the girl child, urging them to move beyond gender-based barriers.
Speaking at the International Conference on Girl Child Education in Nigeria, held in Abuja, Shettima emphasized that stakeholders, including government officials, traditional leaders, and civil society, must unite to ensure access to education for all Nigerian children, especially girls.
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.
A viral clip has made its way online showing a police officer in Delta State shooting a suspect who had already been restrained.
It can be noted that the suspect was pleading, claiming he had been framed and deceived, and said he would lead them to the right place.
However, while he was pleading, the police officer shot him. The officer later stated that the suspect was armed with a gun.
It was later revealed that the police officer has been arrested, as it is against the law to shoot a restrained suspect.
It was reported by the Kogi State Government that 24 children were abducted from an orphanage home. It was shared that this happened on the 26th of April, Sunday, and gunmen were seen in the area that day.
The information was shared by the Commissioner of Information, Kingsley Fanwo, who shared this sad news and described it as unfortunate.
“We condemn in strong terms the abduction of innocent children from an orphanage, the government is working closely with security operatives to ensure their safe return,”
