Tallen said efforts should be intensified on the sensitisation, enrolment, orientation, and education of the girl child.
According to her, menstruation makes the girl child an easy prey for early marriage, sexual violence, teenage pregnancy, school drop-out, trafficking, among others.
“It is on this note that the Federal Ministry of Women Affairs mainstreamed menstrual and health management hygiene programmes and intervention to promote awareness on menstruation and hygiene. jamb results
“It is also to build the capacity of women and adolescents to see menstruation as a normal biological process,” Tallen said.

“I am appealing to all Nigerians, especially our future leaders to give peace a chance. Everyone has a role to play and we must all be peace ambassadors.”
