Aregbesola makes case for girl-child education




Interior Minister Rauf Aregbesola has urged stakeholders to ensure that the girl-child get good education.

He said the stakeholders must empower girls and prepare them for future responsibilities.

The minister said government at all levels, corporate organisations and other stakeholders should invest in ventures that would contribute to the socio-economic development of the nation.

Aregbesola spoke at the 2019 Ozu Day celebration and civic reception in honour of the daughters and sons of Ozu.

He was given a chieftaincy title during the ceremony.

The event was organised by the Uzuakoli Development Association (UDA) in Bende Local Government Area of Abia State.

The minister noted that the girl-child education would not only ensure the quickening of her inert abilities but would also help in developing the family and the society.

This would promote internal security and socio-economic development in the country, he said.

“Absolute commitment to the education of the girl-child would ensure the quickening of her inert abilities, thus developing the family and society on the one hand and ensuring internal security on the other hand,” Aregbesola said.

  • ~24.5 min Trubel had been lingering outside the nondescript metal door for nearly two hours, appearing to study the door and the faded sign above it. The Deli , it read in dusty script. Her coat was wrapped as tightly around her as the fraying fabric allowed, but still, the cold air dug through it. The cold was not enough, however, to drive her out of the elements and through the door. Once or twice she approached it, hand shaking as it neared the handle, only to draw back at the last second as if the handle were a snake. It should have been easier to enter the door the longer she waited, but it seemed to only grow immeasurably more difficult. It did not help that in her entire time waiting no one had entered or left the building. Had someone sallied up, opened the door, and safely entered into a cloud of inviting warmth, it may have lured her in. Similarly, the safe exit of any sort of person would have assured her that one could brave whatever lay beyond. But the road was emp...

Ubloo, Part One 🔞👹

Ubloo, The Reason Why I Try Not To Sleep Ubloo, Part One Note:This is part one of a four-part story. The next three parts will be posted over the next three days. Enjoy! In a past life I was a psychiatrist. Well, let me rephrase that. Before my life fell to pieces I was a psychiatrist, and a damned good one too. It’s tough to really say what makes a psychiatrist “good” at what they do, but I started in my field early, got great experience my first few years in the business and not before long I almost had more clients than I could handle. I’m not saying someone would walk into my office suicidal and do a complete 180 in one day, but my clients trusted me and felt that I genuinely helped them, so I came very highly recommended, and my rate was admittedly steep. That being said, I was used to a “higher tier” of patient. I’m not sure how the Jennings family found me but I assume they were pointed in my direction from their previous psychiatrist, as that’s sometimes the...

Does GDP tell the whole economic story?

Answering a simple “How are you?” with an honest detailed answer may lead to an awkward silence. After all, it’s often just longhand for “hello”. But the government’s official number-crunchers at the Office for National Statistics genuinely care about the response. Next week, they’ll publish their statistics into how people across the country are feeling about their lives. Have they gone soft? Not quite. They’ve realised that how we’ve traditionally measured living standards or economic well-being isn’t up to scratch.
