The campaigners will work with relevant government institutions and agencies like Ministry of Education, Universal Basic Education Commission, National and State House of Assembly, corporate organizations, private sectors, etc to ensure that the UBE Act is fully implemented. Also, the GNG is to respond to greater investment in the education of girl-child as championed by the first lady of America, Michelle Obama with her ‪#‎LetGirlsLearn‬ and Sarah Brown, wife of UN Envoy on Education with her ‪#‎AWorldatSchool‬ Initiative.

We call on CSOs, organizations, groups and individual who are interested to partner with us to send their details to us through our email address: eaglebuildersfoundation@yahoo.com
Meanwhile, we condemn every attack on our school especially girls school which is aimed to put fear in them so as to continue to enslave the girl-child. Education is a right for every child and they should not be denied this right. We therefore call on government to put more investment in education to checkmate poverty and HIV/AIDS.
