 Still in the news, legal defense and assistance project LADAP says the insecurity bedeviled in the country, particularly in the northeast, has remained a major challenge for a girl-child education in the country. The group, however, noticed that kidnapping of female students across the country has become rampant, hence the education has become a major setback in the northern part of the country. Legal practitioner Nari Wilye, who represents the program manager, expressed worry over the incestant kidnapping and rape cases in the country. He, however, appealed to both the federal and state governments to do everything possible to curb the menace so that the girl-child would have a place in the country. There are over 13.5 million children in Nigeria who are unable to access free and quality basic education. With a girl-child in northeastern states having a higher percentage of this figure, crisis in security, cultural and religious dispositions and poor funding have been limiting factors to quality education in these states. The emergence of the novel COVID-19 pandemic has further put a strain on child education. It is a known fact that schools in Nigeria remain close throughout the COVID-19 lockdown and this situation has increased the number of children, especially girls who are unable to access free, compulsory, quality and basic education. On part of the Adamawa state government, it assured the led up of government's commitment in ensuring free education for girl-child across the state and beyond. This is a very wonderful initiative and I also want to thank the organizers who have taken their time to sustain the tempo and ensure the training and development of the human mind to be able to reach out to the less privileged, especially the girl-child who for long has been deprived of the rights to education. You know the constitution of Nigeria has given it that every child is out to be educated irrespective of his religious disposition, his gender and whatever, it is his right.
