“Because we believe menstruation is a gift to women and must be treated as such, we are inviting all well-meaning corporate organizations and individuals to join hands in supporting the cause of the girl child. Your collective efforts can bring about a transformative impact, shaping a better world for everyone”.

Presenting her speech, the Founder and Executive Director of Pad-Up Africa, Ashley Lori, said menstruation is a topic that should be mentioned across every sector.

She cautioned people against stigmatising adolescent girls during their menstruation, noting that there is a need to engage boys and men to let them know that menstruation is natural.

“We need to tell the people around us and teach them the right things to do. If we make every public school to have accessible facilities for girls, the number of girls will increase in schools.”

Also, the Director, Donors Development- Africa of Wells Bring Hope Foundation, Ibrahim Nazif Nuhu, urged Nigerians to join hands in the fight for gender equality and justice to help women with menstrual challenges.

Anambra Sanctions School For Selling Prefect Post  The Anambra Government has imposed a one-month sanction on Blossom Fount School, Awka, for allegedly selling the position of head prefect during a student election.  This was disclosed in a statement on Saturday by the Commissioner for Education, Prof. Ngozi Chuma-Udeh.  According to the commissioner, the school reportedly demanded N5,000 from each pupil aspiring to become head prefect in the primary section.  Chuma-Udeh condemned the act, describing it as an attempt to “sell the psyche of the children to the highest bidder from the cradle.”  According to her, such practices are unacceptable under the administration of Gov. Chukwuma Soludo.  She said that an investigation was ongoing to examine the school’s broader management practices, with the possibility of further actions based on the findings.
