President Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday commissioned the newly completed Ministry of Women Affairs Headquarters Building in Abuja with a pledge to end child marriage and boost girl-child education across the country.
Speaking at the event, the president noted with concern the increasing number of out-of-school children in the country, saying that the Federal Government would sustain on-going efforts to address the menace.
According to him, it is the collective duty of all to ensure that mothers of today and tomorrow are educated, encouraged and empowered.
