Ibeto said: “Menstrual hygiene is not merely a biological process but a fundamental aspect of a girl’s life, shaping her present and future.

“This noble cause themed ‘Educating the Nigerian Girl on Menstrual Hygiene Practice’ was championed to sensitize young girls on menstrual hygiene as we strongly believe that by fostering an understanding of menstrual health, we are contributing to creating a healthier environment where every girl, irrespective of her educational background, can confidently pursue her dreams and engage in daily activities without inhibition.

“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”.
