On October 11, 2023, FIDA Nigeria’s Epe branch marked the International Day of the Girl Child with an inspiring pep talk held at Attwool Sunflower School in Ologolo, Lagos.

This year’s theme, “THE DIGITAL GENERATION, OUR GENERATION,” took center stage as participants delved into the crucial topic of “Navigating the Digital Space for a Greater Future for the Girl Child.”

Mrs. Ogechi Olisa-Mokelu, the PRO, initiated the pep talk by highlighting the significance of technology and digital literacy in today’s rapidly evolving professional landscape. Stressing the importance of equipping the girl child for growth in the digital space, she emphasized that technical proficiency is essential for proving one’s worth and assuming leadership roles in this digital generation.

The PRO articulated FIDA’s commitment to opening up opportunities, creating new avenues, and building partnerships that empower the girl child. This includes sensitization efforts and collaborations aimed at providing greater access to education, employment, and entrepreneurship.

Central to the strategy is the establishment and encouragement of digital platforms for empowerment, training, and mentorship. These platforms equip the girl child with essential tools to successfully navigate the digital space, positioning herself for a brighter future.

The session included a lively question and answer segment, and thoughtful gifts were presented to the students. The school management expressed gratitude to FIDA Epe for dedicating time to educate and encourage their pupils, underscoring the positive impact of such initiatives on the community.
