“Most of these disadvantaged girls are in rural areas and needed humanitarian services while others with various disabilities lacked access to descent work.

“Education and skilled workers are in great demand but roughly a quarter of young people most of them female are currently neither employed nor in education or training,” she lamented.

Bala added that the members of the NGO have been going from one village to another in the state to enroll girl- children into schools, adding that such children would be sponsored to complete tertiary institutions.
