“This girl told me that she is here to learn but trust me, I know the industry, the industry is a very dangerous place for young girls.”
Regina Daniels said that although she was lucky to have her mother’s protection from unwanted attention in the industry, it is unfortunately not the case for many of these young girls.JAMB Result
