The representative of Oyo South District in the National Assembly, Senator Sharafadeen Alli, has kick-started the sponsoring of the second season of the ‘Flow with Dignity School Tour.’
The indication was made in a statement signed by his Special Adviser on Media, Akeem Abas, made available to Oyo Reporters Online on Saturday in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital.
Flow with Dignity School Tour is an initiative by the Women for Greater Good Foundation in celebration of the 2024 International Day of the Girl Child.
The expanded programme focuses on menstrual hygiene and sex education, providing young girls with the tools to navigate adolescence with confidence and dignity.
The statement quoted Senator Alli’s sponsorship as a reflection of his strong commitment to the well-being and development of young girls in the district, reinforcing his dedication to improving quality of life and future prospects for the youth.
Through his support, the lawmaker is fostering a more inclusive and empowering environment for girls to ensure they are equipped for a brighter future.
A key highlight of this year’s tour will be the distribution of menstrual materials and educational handbooks.
These resources aim to support girls’ health and educational success, reducing the barriers that often prevent them from attending school during their menstrual cycles.
Meanwhile, the impactful initiative builds upon the success of last year’s event, which reached 800 girls across Oyo South Senatorial District.
