Malala, who has been on a three -day visit to Nigeria to lend support for the rescue of the abducted Chibok girls, stated that there is no developed nation without the focus on the education of the girl child.
She however lamented that over the years, there has been increased on the issue of out of school children, as Nigeria is currently having 10.5 million out of school children and called on Nigeria to ensure that the trend does not continue as this will spell doom for the country.
Speaking to the parents of the abducted and escaped girls, Malala tasked them to be stronger and never allow the fear of the terror of Boko Haram affect them as no one has the right to determine the future of any child in Nigeria and the world.
Narrating her experience in the hands of the Taliban, Malala stated that after her near death experience, she has resolved to strive for the education of the children of the world as she is currently doing through her Malala day celebration.
She however, called on the world leaders to invest massively in the child education rather than the continued misplacement of finances in arms and ammunition.
God bless this child, Malala!!!
