The Ohinoyi of Ebiraland, His Royal Majesty, Alhaji Tijjani Ahmed Anaje, has officially endorsed the Kogi AGILE (Adolescent Girls Initiative for Learning and Empowerment) project, giving his royal blessings and emphasizing its importance in improving education and empowerment opportunities for young girls in the state.
Speaking at his palace in Okene, the revered monarch commended the initiative, describing it as a transformative step toward enhancing access to quality education, particularly for adolescent girls in Ebiraland and Kogi State at large.
He expressed deep appreciation for the government’s commitment to addressing challenges that hinder the education and empowerment of young girls, ensuring they have a brighter future.
Our Kogi State Correspondent, reports that His Royal Majesty, in his words of admonition, urged community members, parents, and stakeholders to embrace the project wholeheartedly. He stressed the need for collective effort in ensuring its success, noting that the education of girls is fundamental to the progress of society.
“The AGILE project is not just a policy; it is a vision for the future of our daughters and our land. Education remains the bedrock of development, and no society can truly advance if its girls are left behind. I urge our people to support this initiative fully,” the Ohinoyi stated.
Furthermore, the monarch assured that he would take active steps to sensitize other royal fathers across Ebiraland, ensuring the message reaches every corner of the region. He reiterated his commitment to working closely with relevant authorities to foster the smooth implementation of the program.
The endorsement by the Ohinoyi of Ebiraland is expected to encourage community-wide participation and create a ripple effect of support among other traditional leaders and local authorities, thereby driving the success of the AGILE initiative in the state.
Earlier in his opening remark, the Project Coordinator of Kogi AGILE, Dr. Abdulhakeem Bello, expressed gratitude for the royal endorsement, emphasizing that the support of traditional institutions is crucial for the success of the initiative. He noted that the project aims to remove barriers that prevent adolescent girls from accessing and completing secondary education, especially in rural communities.
He further stated that with the backing of the Ohinoyi and other traditional leaders, awareness about the AGILE project would significantly increase, ensuring that more families allow their daughters to pursue education without hindrance.
“The role of our royal fathers in community development cannot be overstated. With their support, we can accelerate the implementation of AGILE and bring lasting change to the lives of young girls in Kogi State,” he added.
