The Chairperson, Nigeria Association of Women Journalists NAWOJ, Delta State Chapter, Comrade Sonia Unobunjo has said the Girl Child can attain whatever level of success she wants to achieve in life if only she could dedicate her time, and be committed to it.
Unobunjo stated this when she led the executive and members of the NAWOJ Delta to Government Model Secondary Asaba, in commemoration of this year’s International Day of the Girl Child in Asaba.
She said as females, they deserve to be heard and not underestimated as a result of their gender.
Comrade Unobunjo admonished female students of the school to always have confidence in themselves, work hard by giving extra time to their studies and always aim high.
She added that, there was no limit to the height which the Girl Child can attain, as she cited the likes of Dr Ngozi Okonjo Iweala and other notable women who were making waves in the society, adding that they started from smaller beginning.
Fielding questions from the female students who bared their minds on several challenging issues, Comrade Unobunjo gave some positive advise and encouraged them to be steadfast.
She said the United Nations declared the International Day of the Girl Child as an annual event to be celebrated on October 11.
