FIDA Lagos Champions Rights and Well-being on International Day of the Girl Child

In a dedicated observance of the International Day of the Girl Child, the dynamic team from FIDA Lagos, spearheaded by Chairperson Mrs. Chinwe Efobi and guided by Committee Head Mrs. Nnenna Nwaokobia, made a meaningful impact at Topgrade Secondary School in Surulere, Lagos.

Mrs. Roma Wayo, a passionate FIDA Lagos member, took the stage to enlighten and sensitize the students about the “Rights of the Girl Child.” Joining forces were Dr. Mrs. Feyisikemi Dauda, representing the Medical Women Association of Nigeria, addressing the critical topic of “Dental Care and the Benefits of a Healthy Lifestyle for the Girl Child.” Dr. Mrs. Uyime Ivy-King added her expertise to the discourse, focusing on “Self-Confidence and Development” to inspire and guide the young minds.

The event culminated in a mini-legal clinic intervention session, providing invaluable insights and support to address legal concerns affecting the well-being of the girl child. FIDA Lagos once again demonstrated its commitment to shaping a brighter future for young girls by imparting knowledge, fostering confidence, and addressing crucial aspects of their health and rights.
