He said, “What we are doing here is to raise awareness about the work we have been doing in the last eight years, and most importantly, to keep children in school. One of the major problems we are facing today is the number of out-of-school children. Nigeria ranks among the top three countries with the highest number of out-of-school children. Food insecurity and hunger are significant drivers of school dropouts. As the costs of living and feeding continue to rise, we have taken action by establishing a food bank to bridge the gap, and to enable children to stay in school. Leveraging the influence of celebrities is crucial for us, as they have platforms needed to reach wider audiences.”
