He further urged families, communities and relevant stakeholders to create an enabling environment where girls can develop their talents, build confidence and maximise their potential.
“Investing in our girls is investing in the future of our communities. They are our best gifts and we must empower them to bring positive change to our world,” he added.
Onoh wished girls across Enugu North LGA and beyond a future filled with hope, confidence, growth and abundant opportunities, while reaffirming the importance of supporting their aspirations and wellbeing.
