Malala Yousafzai, Girl-child education advocate, accompanied by her dad, met with Pres. Jonathan on Monday July 14 at the State House, Abuja, Nigeria.
Speaking during the meeting, President Jonathan said; “I personally believe that since about 50 per cent of our population are female, we will be depriving ourselves of half of our available human resources if we fail to educate our girls adequately or suppress their ambitions in any way. We are therefore taking steps to curb all forms of discrimination against girls and women, and have also undertaken many affirmative actions on their behalf"
