On Wednesday, 23rd February, 2022, the project team, Abiodun Essiet Initiative for Girls (AEIG),
led by the Executive Director: Abiodun Essiet, embarked on an advocacy visit to FCT Secondary Education Board.
As part of our activities to create awareness on SGBV amongst FCT OI: a project funded by MacArthur Foundation through Resource Center for Human Rights and Civic Education we are to organize sensitization seminars in community schools, which was our purpose for the visit to the Board.
We had a fruitful deliberation with the Director: Mrs Nanre Emeje; Acting Director, G & C: Dr. Adeyeye Margeret; and the Deputy Director, Special Services Division: Mr. Yusuf Eseyin.
In her response, the director spoke about her passion for the fight against SGBV, which has been top on her agenda since she assumed office. She also challenged us to be innovative and unique in our approach in tackling the rise of SGBV especially amongst young girls and boys because the perpetrators are not relenting.
