REPORT of the #Tech4IDPs project, an initiative of Adopt-A-Camp, which implementation was completed late July, would be published tomorrow.

Watch out for it.

At the @Wimbiz Masterclass on Leadership, Equity & Good Governance, we just had an inspirational session with @hadizabalausman.

Even if one had nothing to do with her success, one cannot but be proud of her, how she lives her life and what she is doing at @nigerianports.

#PressForProgress #LetsTalkGBV #IWD2018 A rescue of all girls abducted from schools is also an assurance to our daughters that the country will go to any lenght to fight for them. The option to deploy in such a rescue is totally at the discretion of the Government.

[#Citizen ✊🏼 Olatunji @tunjibaruwa]

#PressForProgress #LetsTalkGBV #IWD2018 Rescuing all of the girls in captivity is the next step towards assuring parents that Govt is capable of protecting their daughters. A rescue is a reassurance. If the abductions remain unresolved, #GirlsEduction will remain endangered.

[#Citizen ✊🏼 Olatunji @tunjibaruwa]

#PressForProgress #LetsTalkGBV #IWD2018 Had we taken in and learnt from the lessons of the previous abduction of #ChibokGirls in 2014, we would not have had a repeat in the abduction of #DapchiGirls. Now, we have a total of 222 girls still in captivity. It is dispiriting for all.

#PressForProgress #LetsTalkGBV #IWD2018 At present, only about Three States in Nigeria meets the @UN recommended 26% Budget Quota for Education. At Federal level, our figures hover between 5% - 7%, which is very unfortunate. We can do better as a nation.

#PressForProgress #LetsTalkGBV #IWD2018 In many instances where security of schools were breached, #EarlyWarning was served but the appropriate #EarlyAction from security agencies were always lacking. We need a special #SecurityAlert system for Schools that will appropriate roles

[#Citizen ✊🏼 Olatunji @tunjibaruwa]

#PressForProgress #LetsTalkGBV #IWD2018 ....and those commitments can only be proven through consistent investment in #Education, that prioritises environmental conditions of schools, welfare and security, continuous training of teachers and an assessment system that works.

[#Citizen ✊🏼 Olatunji @tunjibaruwa]

#PressForProgress #LetsTalkGBV #IWD2018 My suggestions to Govt are germaine because the bulk stops at their table. The pressure to rescue our Daughters abducted from schools in #Yobe & #Borno are being applied on them. It is the reason why their commitments must never be shaken.

[#Citizen ✊🏼 Olatunji @tunjibaruwa]

#PressForProgress #LetsTalkGBV #IWD2018 Schools must have drills for crisis mitigation. There should be mock tests of what to do when invasion is looming or an attack is happening. Many of the girls of #Chibok and #Dapchi were discerning enough to suspect that something was amiss

[#Citizen ✊🏼 Olatunji @tunjibaruwa]

#PressForProgress #LetsTalkGBV #IWD2018 To assume that local women or people in general are uninformed is a grave mistake. Security is local. Parents and communities must be adequately briefed on what to do in the imminence of an attack or terrorists invasion.

[#Citizen ✊🏼 Olatunji @tunjibaruwa]

#PressForProgress #LetsTalkGBV #IWD2018 Governments at all levels must step up and take the lead in owning the crisis of confidence often expressed by parents in sending their daughters to schools. There must be regular engagements on the state of security in the region.

[#Citizen ✊🏼 Olatunji @tunjibaruwa]

#PressForProgress #LetsTalkGBV #IWD2018 In the interim, i think we need to discontinue #BoardingSchoolSystems for girls in the Northeast of Nigeria. The risk of congregating hundreds of girls in one location is too high. No amount of security personel will be able to stop attack

[#Citizen ✊🏼 Olatunji @tunjibaruwa]

#PressForProgress #LetsTalkGBV #IWD2018 The #CivilSociety can also do well with increased #LegislativeAdvocacy for #EducationalReforms and better #PolicyFrameworks for #SafeSchools and for protection of girls.

[#Citizen ✊🏼 Olatunji @tunjibaruwa]

#PressForProgress #LetsTalkGBV #IWD2018 For the Civil Society, #Advocacy is an ever effective tool. But we must never stop advocating. We must increase the numbers of of accomplished women who will step up into the pool of #Mentors and #Champions for our young girls.
