00:11I started my activism at the age of 14, the same year that the Chibok girls were abducted.
00:23There are so many challenges that children and girls face here in Nigeria.
00:27There's child marriage, we have one of the highest numbers of out-of-school children,
00:32we have one of the highest numbers of zero-dose children, children that are not immunised.
00:52This charity recognises the importance of having young people's voice at the forefront,
00:56not just as advocates but also as decision-makers.
00:59That is absolutely crucial because you know better than anybody else what is going on,
01:04what the conversations are that are happening, but also its real future.
01:07It won't stop. Every one of us has a role to play through our advocacy, our voices,
01:15our financial support, volunteering.
01:17So we hope to see a positive change and a better nation for Nigeria.
