October 11 every year is observed as International day of the girl child.

The day which was declared by the United Nations was first observed on October 11, 2012.

It is set aside to promote the rights of girls as well as address the challenges they face.

This no doubt may have informed the large presence of school girls at a conference organized by the United Nations Children Education Fund (UNICEF) to celebrate the day in Abuja.

Speakers after speakers in their remarks highlighted the need to advance the rights and opportunities of girls in Nigeria

Some Female School Children however spoke on the Significance of celebrating the girl child.

It was not just about speech making as there were presentations and cultural dances by the school girls to spice up the ceremony.

The theme of the 2019 edition of the international Day of the girl child is "Girl Force: Unscripted, unstoppable".
