The reigning Woman of the Year at this year’s GOWA, Adiza Ibrahim has emphasized the need for girls to be intentional about their actions on the digital space.

She made these remarks when speaking on the theme “ Digital Generation, I make the Difference” at the just ended 4TH ANEG Go Girls Summit 2023.

According to her, “every Teen, adolescent and teenager need to be intentional about what they do on the digital space i.e. Facebook, YouTube, Instagram etc. because it is a place full of opportunities but also the same place that can make them lose focus and be pressured into doing something else.”

She encouraged the about 500 girls drawn from selected schools in the Shai Osudoku District to make the most out of their usage of social media by keeping an impactful presence and engagement worthy to emulate by their peers in and beyond the District.

She noted “the digital space is a place that can enable you even at this early age to promote your skills and talents and also an effective platform to share all the issues confronting you in your respective districts regarding the lack of basic social amenities like lack of electricity, lack of proper drinking water, lack of decent classrooms blocks and the lack of ICT training and the provision of computers.”

Go Girls Summit is an annual program for girls at the basic level to SHS level in the Shai Osudoku District, Lower Manye and Togorme which seeks to inform, empower, engage and educate teen that seeks to address critical topics like Early Childhood Marriage, Domestic Violence, Gender Identity, Climate Change, and Female Health among girls and youth.

And the significant contributions of female professionals and mentors in nurturing girls’ self-esteem and development in their communities.

The summit is a highly impactful, engaging, and educational event and her presence as the Keynote Speaker greatly contributed to its success.
