*Today's LAUNCH OF TECH A GIRL :PAD A GIRL CHILD INITIATIVE & Distribution of 5,000 PADS IN COMMEMORATION OF THE 2025 INTERNATIONAL DAY Day of the Girl Child, themed “The Girl I Am, The Change I Lead: Girls on the Frontlines of Crisis IS a reflection of Governor Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa's led administration's commitment to the developments of Women, children and girls in Ondo State, Equiping them with digital knowledge and life hacks on healthy living and preparing them for leadership* Every year, this celebration reminds us of the incredible potential that lies within every girl. It also reminds us of our collective responsibility, as parents, leaders, teachers, and advocates, to create a world where girls are not limited by gender, poverty, or societal stereotypes. Here in Ondo State, under the visionary leadership of His Excellency, Governor Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa, and the supportive passion of Her Excellency, the First Lady, Mrs. Esther Oluwaseun Aiyedatiwa, we continue to prioritize initiatives that empower girls, ensuring that no girl is left behind in technology, education, health, or any other opportunity so that our state becomes a place where every girl can dream freely, live confidently, and achieve greatness. This year's theme “The Girl I Am, The Change I Lead: Girls on the Frontlines of Crisis”, gives us the opportunity to reflect on the extraordinary strength of the girl child and their impacts even in face of challenges. Girls are not just beneficiaries of development or victims but they are powerful drivers of change, creating a better and safer world. Around the world, girls often face crises such as poverty, gender-based violence, early marriage, limited access to education, and menstrual stigma. Yet despite these challenges, many girls continue to stand strong at the frontlines of education, health, leadership, and innovation. This year’s initiative, “Tech a Girl; Pad a Girl Child”, speaks directly to two critical needs of our time: digital empowerment and menstrual hygiene. Through today’s event, our ministry is championing digital literacy training to prepare girls for the opportunities of the modern age, while also promoting menstrual health and dignity through the distribution of 5,000 sanitary pads to selected secondary school girls across Ondo State. These are great investments in the future of our girls, our communities, and our state. To every girl child, You are Loved You are strong. You are valuable. And you are capable of leading change, no matter where you find yourself. The theme, “The Girl I Am, The Change I Lead,” is a call to action, to believe in your identity, use your voice, and rise as a solution-bearer in times of crisis. Do not let fear or doubt stop you from dreaming big. Embrace learning. Lead with kindness. Support one another. And always remember, your gender is not a limitation; it is a strength that carries grace, wisdom, and resilience. As a government, we will raise new generations of confident, healthy, and digitally equipped young women who will continue to lead change on the frontlines of life’s challenges.
