Tambuwal's Wife To Sponsor 700 Girls Through School Yearly by livingg(m): 1:18pm On Mar 11, 2016 |
A statement issued by Tambuwal’s spokesman,
Imam Imam stated that Mariya said her efforts
will be achieved in collaboration with the Sokoto
state ministries of education, women affairs and
the state SDGs office.
The wife of Sokoto State Governor, Hajiya Mariya
Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, has pledged to sponsor the
education of 700 girls annually to enable them acquire
quality education for a brighter future.
A statement issued by Tambuwal’s spokesman, Imam
Imam stated that Mariya said her efforts will be
achieved in collaboration with the Sokoto state
ministries of education, women affairs and the state
SDGs office.
She stated this at an event organized to mark the
international women's day at the Milton Keynes
College in the United Kingdom, Mrs Tambuwal said her
intervention will target girls from economically
disadvantaged families
Represented by Dr Asma'u Wali, Mrs. Tambuwal
pledged to encourage parity between male and female
genders in Sokoto state.
" Parity begins with education. Without an education it is
far more difficult to have a fulfilling and fulfilled life.
Without access to education there's less opportunity to
earn more and live behind a life of poverty " she said.
According to her, " I want to see an end to gender gaps
in my country as I know you all want to see a similar end
to gender gaps here in the UK" she said
She called on employers to support parity by paying
men and women the same pay for the same work. She
raised her concern on why sectors dominated by
women are low paid. Hajiya Mariya called on parents
and guardians to encourage their children into
becoming professionals.
She thanked the Principal of Milton Keynes College, Dr
Mills for giving her the opportunity to speak at the
event, and also urged everyone to support the pledge
for parity. |
