She said “The lack of adequate campaign and advocacy for the protection and promotion of the Ijaw Girl-child’s right to education over the years has brought about the decline in the educational participation of more Ijaw Girl-child across the creeks of the Niger Delta Region, that has affected the non-enrolment, early drop out from school among other social vices which has deprived a lot of them their place of value in the family, and society.
